Obviously not a statistically valid poll, but the current online dino
and human question at parade.com is running only 33% for coexistence,
although the question wording was along the lines of "could" rather
than "did".

A twist on YEC I had not previously encountered-I was looking at an
1870's large volume of Bible stories for children. A subheading of
4004 BC at the beginning was not entirely surprising, but everything
was assigned equally precise dates. Any ideas on what this drew on to
determine the exact dates for Job, etc.? (One several decades younger
from Concordia Press explicitly declared the date of creation
uncertain.)
