edit- I used "thought" too many times.
edit #2- Obbiquiet, you have a really nice house, dude.
Thanks! But not anymore, that was the apartment I was living in - we have been moving into our new house gradually. Right now we have torn up all the carpeting, and the place is still scattered with moving boxes.
At least we have a backyard now.

Joking aside (or was I?), it's true they mainly reside in the USA, along with all those other cults. "Only in America," we find ourselves saying all too often...
Your funny.
I lived in the Southern USA Bible belt half my life, most christians I knew were YEc, Here in Idaho, I hear populaR CHRISTIAN radio broadcast YEC shows. both sets of my parents and my 5 sisters are YEC. I have heard YEc preached dozens of times at churches all across the USA

I grew up with my Bible at my side, and it never once occurred to me that Genesis 1 took place billions of years ago.
Today ... many years later ... I cringe at the thought of the universe being around more than 6100 years.

Really no idea, when I read the first time about people, that really believe in that. Must be quite some time ago, maybe 10 years ago!? |

So the data for Darwinism is in Germany? They can't seem to find it here.

Actually there are still people would believe in universal common descent through chance and necessity.

Thus raising the term, through it's conceptual embodiment, to a state of prominence. It makes no difference to me what you refer to as the Creation of man.
