American Phenomenon??

Hi,
New to this forum, although I am certainly concious of the evolution vs. creationism debate, and being a science major it certainly strikes a personal note. As a Canadian, my primary perception of creationism is through the American media (all too present up here) and it seems to have a very vocal and relatively large group of supporters. I recently met a staunch supporter of creationism at school (strangely she also is a science major) and must admit that I was quite surprised, thinking that people like this hadn't survived past the 19th century save in the American Bible belt(gone the way of the dinosaur I had supposed). However looking into it further it seems that here most Canadian creationists tend to exist in rural areas, although this is just a personal inference and I am not at all certain of the facts. But certainly the Canadian creationism crowd is not as large nor vocal as the American one, (As a matter of fact the Canadian population has the highest percentage of post-secondary education in the world). My question was if any one would knew if creationism is a primarily American phenonmenon, or if it has a strong following in any other first-world countries?

Ignorance is bliss

Like I said I just made this assumption based upon personal perception, it seems that faith and religion has deeper roots among rural populations, although this is may be a generally Southern Albertan thing where we have our own "bible belt". In addition I was surprised not so much at running into a creationist at school, it was more the fact that she was a biological science major at a major University. (ie. not earning an arts diploma at a smaller christian college/bible school)
