When WILLOWTREE was still around I was engaged in a thread that involved many loony ideas, one of which was that the Red Hand symbol of Ulster is derived from the Bible.
While digging around for information on this I found references that suggest parts of the Orange Order (a very significant organisation on the Protestant/Loyalist side) and related churches are very strong Biblical literalists and/or inerrantists and creationists.
Dr. Ian Paisley (leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, which is now the largest Unionist party in Northern Ireland) is an extreme anti-Catholic creationist. His Doctorate is actually an honorary degree from Bob Jones University - which if I remember correctly from my time in the States should tell you something.
