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

Excuse me?

No surprise. The truth is foolishness (irrational) to those who are perishing.

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.
