Looking for data
Has anyone seen any data on the percent of Christians who believe that the story of Adam and Eve should be taken literally?

Crazyfingers, have you visited www.barna.org?
They always do surveys of Christian beliefs, being an evangelical survey org, and their numbers are good. They survey exactly the kind of stuff you are looking for. Zip through their search function. Michael |

Michael, I had forgotten about them. Thanks. I did find in another source that 45% of americans believe that a god created humans as they are now in the last 6000-10000 years. That probably is a good match for believing that the story of Adam and Eve is to be taken literally.
What I need most now is similar data for Europe. I might move this topic to E/C. |
