"Evolution wins out over creationism in every age group but and the trend is not going your way."

Is CW implying all they need is more (in numbers) ignorant people?

You would have to ask CW about that. But I think the point was that more people of every age group in America (including seniors) believe in evolution (theistic or naturalistic) than believe in creationism, and that since the margin gets wider in the younger age ranges, this trend is only going to increase.

By the way, this is consistent with the numbers I posted at the beginning. Although creationists make up the plurality when you divide things up into: creationists, theistic evolutionists, and naturalistic evolutionists, to find a direct creationists/evolutionists comparison you have to combine the number for the theistic and naturalistic evolutionists. A poll I referenced says the numbers (when it's strictly creationists/evolutionists) is currently around 45/55. CW's referenced chart says that creationists-in-the-minority is true for all three of the major age groups definied.

And it's a much bigger division the younger you get. In the "55 and older" population, creationists are almost even with evolutionists. But by the time you get down to the "18 to 34" age group, there are nearly three people who believe in evolution for every one who believes in creationism.

In other words, creationists are losing the debate. And whatever your perspective, that is a meaningful bit of data.
