I was merely giving a counter-point to your statement that it's not possible to be a young-earth creationist and still believe in education and progress. Clearly, it's possible, and common enough that I have known personally a large number of very highly educated individuals that are YEC, or have similar beliefs (demons, exorcisms, etc.). I do believe there's an inverse correlation between education level and intelligence on the one hand, and fundamentalist beliefs on the other. Whether they're outliers or not is another question, but I think you might be surprised how many of them there are.
