Correct me if I'm wrong...

Well, one of the survey's I found put the percentage for creationists at 47% in the US, 49 % of the population accept the evolutionary model ( that is both theistic and atheist acceptance).
I won't comment on the survey till after everyone here gets a chance to look at it. There are some very interesting and strong trends within the poll's data. You be the judge.
Oh, by the way, before anyone here thinks that science is about popularity, most of the world believed the world was the center of the universe. Gallileo was persecuted because his scientific research disagreed, he was house arrested, and if I remember correctly, eventually excommunicated. In the end, even though the opinion of the populace was with the church, the science was still a better model, because that is what science seeks, the best theory to describe the observable facts. Popularity is good for politics, not science. http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm

Interesting, my experience with engineers has been quite the opposite.

Definitly an army joke. I should know. Currently serving proudly in the US Army.

I have respect for engineers, especially R&D. After I finish my term of service in the army, I want to go back to school for an enginnering major. I might double major in physics as well. I have always had a passion for creating things. Right now, I am absolutely fascinated with the emergence of nanotech and its implications. It seems the technology is where computers were 40 years ago, at the cusp, where R&D is an open field, and where the field isn't restricted by standards yet.
