I have many a friend who believe in literal creationism or a variety therof. It is interesting to note their beliefs in conjunction with their level of education or specifically science education. Without naming names I'll list the people I personally know and their levels of education.
Creationist 1 - High school with some community college. Thinks platapus disproves evolution. Stunned when shown that there are other mammals that lay eggs too!
Creationist 2 - Die Hard YEC. Dropped out half way through a degree in engineering.
Creationist 3 - Degree in elementary education late in life. Thinks of evolution in the 'hopeful monster' sense.
Psudo-Creationist 4 - This one for me is weird because this person seemed very much a creationist at first. Once we got into discussion though he seemed to get very skeptical of the usual suspects like Hovind and the like. I take his stance to now be highly critical of creation science but hopefull of ID. He has his advanced degree in engineering.
Creationist 5 - Seemingly in support of creation but avoids discussion. Doesn't think it is important to religion or education. Degree in communications and foreign language.
Creationist 6 - Same as above with degrees in business and elementary education.
Creationist 7 - Newly saved. Degree in statistics. No research on the topic. Focus on ID not creation science. Only repeats what he hears at his new church.
Evolutionist 1 - (myself) - Degree in computer science with focus on mathematics and a hearty interest in basic geology/biology. Pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics.
Evolutionist 2 - Pursuing PHD in mathematics, Masters and bachelors in mathematics, minored in computer science.
Evolutionist 3 - Pursuing a masters in history. Bachelors in history.
Evolutionist 4 - Masters and bachelors in Speech and Hearing Sciences.
Evolutionist 5 - Degree in Philosophy (theory of knowledge), minor in CS. Pursuing masters in CS.
Evolutionist 6 - Degree in Computer Science pursuing a masters in Comp
Bio.
Evolutionist 7 - Pursuing PHD in CS, Masters and Bachelors in CS.
Evolutionist 8 - Masters and Bachelors in CS.
Evolutionist 9 - Pursing Masters in CS after Bachelors.
So for the creationists I know that I can think of at the moment there are 7 with 5 degrees 1 in science and he is on the fence.
For the evolutionists I know all have degrees most have advanced degrees or are pursuing them. 7 out of 9 are in science and the two that are not are history and philosophy.
I should note that this is based on my impression of their position based on personal discussion or relationship with them. The population of people is limited to the people I know who I have discussed the EvC issue with.
For me it seems to also dispel the myth that engineers are more likely to believe in creation science than other science types.
