Actually, Filo is quite right. Only a small band of Christians hold to the YEC view of things, and that’s probably more for the purpose of retaining social status within their churches.

Why am I not surprised that neither one of you know what the heck you're talking about? The following is a NATIONWIDE POLL, conducted over the course of two and a half decades. As you can see, YECers represent the largest group. And this number would go WAY UP if you just counted regular church attenders!

GALLOP POLL: Evolution, Creationism, Intelligent Design

Which of the following statements comes closest to your views on the origin and development of human beings -- [ROTATE 1-3/3-1: 1) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God guided this process, 2) Human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process, 3) God created human beings pretty much in their present form at one time within the last 10,000 years or so]?

	Man developed, with God guiding	Man developed, but God had no part in process	God created man in present form	Other/ No opinion
