The title matches the first paragraph of the report pretty closely imo:
“Forty percent of U.S. adults ascribe to a strictly creationist view of human origins, believing that God created them in their present form within roughly the past 10,000 years.”
- josefx 4y agoMe fail english, where in that line does it mention earth?
- wizofaus 4y agoI'd say it was implied by "a strictly creationist view".
- josefx 4y agoQualified with "of human origins".
- wizofaus 4y agoAs opposed to some other "strictly creationist view"?
- josefx 4y agoAs opposed to holding the view that earth was also created 10.000 years ago. You can believe in one part without having to believe in the other and this study explicitly only checked for human origins. Someone made a family tree for everyone mentioned in the Bible once, so people may consider that time span fixed while considering the seven days of creation a lot more flexible.
- wizofaus 4y agoI agree the survey questions were badly formed and that the HN thread title isn't an exact representation of what the survey revealed - but it does strike me as a pretty minor quibble compared to what the survey results do actually imply.
