Convictions are not always based on the rational: Recently, I met two PhD candidates in linguistics who are avowed creationists. Excuse me?

Because studies show that creationists tend to be concentrated among those with low levels of education. I remember a study two years ago that said that the group with the highest level of belief in creationism/intelligent design were black women with a HS education or less.
