Hi RC.There are a number of denominations that hold to a young earth creationist model as their official understanding. Southern Baptists are generally supportive of that understanding. However, as with most denominations that are fairly autonomous in congregational understanding, you will find the outlier here and there. Also as you pointed out, just because a particular denomination teaches young earth creation model, that doesn't mean that each individual member also then accepts that model.
I served for years with the Gideons International and I honestly thought that they were one of the most conservative bunch of christian men I'd met in one room. I was shocked when I was riding back with one of my brothers and the topic somehow got on the creation and he didn't really accept the young earth creationist model. When I explained what I believed about the time and processes of the creation event, he kind of looked over at me rather oddly and said, "You don't really believe that, do you?"
God bless,
In Christ, ted
The Gideons are bible focused and the Bible says the earth is ancient. It even says the hills are eternal.
