In a May 2014 poll 42% of Americans believe that God created humans within the last 10,000 years
42% is the "large percentage" that i referred to in my post above
And yes i do
I dont believe they fall into the 10,000 years category but it's a debate that hasnt came up thankfully
Each to their own and all that
And as for educational time
