    First I wanted to thank you who posted info about the various Noah's ark info on Wyatt's interpretations/studies. Thanks! Very helpful :)

    Second, in the Dembski article I critiqued, he mentions "According to a Gallop [SIC] poll close to 50% of Americans are creationists of a stricter sort, thinking that God specially created human beings; another 40% believe in some form of God-guided evolution; and only 9% are full-blooded Darwinists. It's this 9%, however, that controls the academy."

    Does anyone know where I can find the specifics of this poll? Online somewhere? I want to know the official term used for what Dembski calls "full-blooded Darwinist." I am sure that is not what the Gallup poll actually used.

    What do you think of his statement that the 9% controls the academy! Where does he get the basis for this statement? Yes, indeed I will ask him when I get to emailing him.

    My best,
    Wendee
