In a way, the sheer cussedness of this is admirable.

46% of Americans believe in special creation of human beings within the last 10,000 years.

Here is the Gallup Poll on the subject.

Naturally, the oikophobes and atheists are looking at this as evidence of the unredeemable ignorance of Republican/uneducated "godbotherers" but notice that 41% of Democrats and 25% of those who made their way through a post-graduate education believe in the most extreme form of creationism.

Perhaps 41% of the Democrat party are church-going Evangelicals, but how does anyone make through post-graduate education and remain committed to "special creationism."
