Appreciate the point -- but I'm unsure of its relevance.
An overwhelming majority of Christians probably believe in the young earth,
also.
In our denomination (PCUSA), among those with a vote last summer, the split was
57% to 43% on the question of granting ordination. Which implies a lower/higher
split on the question as I posed it.
Episcopalians, Methodists and Lutherans are all wrestling with the same issue.
In the absence of poll data, which would be difficult to get meaningfully, I
don't have any real feeling for what the split is. Which is why I tried to
specify it non-quantitatively. I probably should have used "some" in place of
"many."
