I find it hard to know exactly what to conclude from this article. Only 49
of these 188 institutions have even one science major. I have never heard
of most of them. Some are recognizable as Adventist schools, which would
have to be YEC. We don't know exactly how the survey question was worded.
We don't know who at the school wrote the reply. It is not clear how many
faculty have to be YEC for the school to make the list or what subjects
these faculty teach.
