I don't believe there's any intellectual deficit in the Bible belt or anywhere else creationists happen to spring from. People who happen to be creationists run schools and colleges and businesses, are managers, accountants and lawyers, and I'm sure they all think pretty well and that they would all easily recognize the obvious deficiencies in Origen's approach. Where are they and why aren't they doing something about their idiots posting idiocy?
But according to a recent
Harris Poll...
In general, older adults (those 55 years of age and older), adults without a college degree, Republicans, conservatives, and Southerners are more likely to embrace the creationism positions in the questions asked.
So, non-college educated people who live in a part of the country known for less-than-great public schools as well as strong Fundamentalist Christian religious influence tend to be Creationists.
Lack of education seems to be a factor.
