On page 2 of the article there is the information that 50% of Americans believe that humans were created by God some time in the last 10,000 years.

Can this be true? How could this have happened? Other countries/people do not believe this, and most christians seem to be able to reconcile the idea of gradual growth and change (ie evolution) with their faith. Why can't Americans?

This isn't a museum, it's Fantasy Island and Love Boat all in one!!
