Don't forget what country you are in and what the dominant religion in it is.

But in addition to the islamic and Hindu creationism mentioned by other posters I might mention the conservative Orthodox Judaism creationism was the subject of an article in the current Reports of the NCSE.

There are a few non-Xian creationists; remember, before we had archaeology, creationism (in some form or another) was the only way we could tell.

The biggest fallacy is to assume, however, that disproving the Bible (LOL Now THAT doesn't take long. Xians have been lying at least since Constantine's Donation.) disproves all religions entirely (Hmm...Didn't ppl try to lump me in with fundies awhile back by doing that exact same bifurcation?) especially when we're discovering that Australia's aborigines have memories - through oral history - of land now covered by water, but during the last Ice Age wasn't.

Many indigenous peoples - though not creationists (We simply view our beliefs as the essence of the appropriate nation. If you look, even Vine Deloria Jr *dun dun dun* originally believed scientists.) - distrust Western science in general; we all remember the days of craniometry and other "scientific" racism. (Look for yourself: Most anthropology work even today is ultimately derivative of missionary accounts and/or craniometry.)

For example, I disagree with the Bering Strait, but not for religious reasons: It's ultimately to American nationalism what the Fall is to Xianity; without it, the rest (US land claims in the former, the crucifixion in the latter) is meaningless. Hmm...American history books parallel the Bible quite a bit, now that I think about it. I don't need to tell you that the US's allegedly "Christian" origins are Deuteronomy, the false law. Indian wars are clearly Joshua, Bering Strait's the Fall and Hamitic curse in one, (Remember, Canaan was one of Noah's sons.) Thanksgiving's Exodus...I could go on.
