Describe which type of creation you believe brought the universe into existence. Examples of possible answers are the Big Bang and Evolution, Young Earth Creation, Old Earth Creation, ID or any other interpretation of the scripture.
Unknown.
The Big Bang is not really a theory of creation. Rather, it is a proposed account of the early universe.
I am quite certain that young earth creationism is made up nonsense.
For life: I expect that it came into existence by means of purely natural processes. However, my probability would be less than 100%, though hard to quantify. Note that evolution is not a theory of creation; it is a theory of how life developed and changed, after it already existed.
The neo-Darwinist account - 0%. Sure, mutation and natural selection are part of the story. But there are also horizontal gene transfer, symbiotic unions, perhaps genome reorganization; neo-Darwinism either omits those or crudely lumps them together as mutation (depending on how you interpret the theory), and that does not satisfy me.
As for how many of the people I know share my view - probably none other than myself, and in a year or two I might have modified my own view anyway. I don't go around asking others of their beliefs on such matters. My best guess is that most would broadly share the consensus scientific view.
