Away again...

This time from 31st May until 9th June, for a conference in Indianapolis. Let's just hope the weather is better this weekend then it was for the Indy 500...
Back again...
I saw a great lecture on intelligent design btw...

I also saw the friday edition of USA today at Dulles airport yesterday. The front page had a poll on it in which 39% of America claimed to be absolutely certain of creationism, whereas only 15% declared to be absolutely certain of evolution....
You were surprised by this?
Only by the numbers, I already knew that creationists outnumber evolutionists in the US...
I'm a bit intrigued by this phenomenon of the wide-spread belief in creationism in the USA. Not to start a discussion on what is correct, evolution or creationism, (we have "the other forum" for that), but I do like to know why the USA is the only (or one of the few) countries where people rely more on faith than on science on this topic. In other words: I'd like to know:

Why is Creationism so mainstream followed in the USA?
