Personnel
gollark: The US apparently has a few tens of % of people saying they believe in creationism, but this might be more political signallih than actual belief.
gollark: You said single digit percent. I'd find a few % of people being weird on surveys entirely plausible.
gollark: A certain fraction of people are just going to lie on/misinterpret survey questions for whatever reason.
gollark: Overall, IQ and literacy have apparently been trending vaguely upward for ages.
gollark: The internet and also to some extent news system make stupidity very visible.
