I just heard that 61% of all US citizens actually belive that the world
was
created in 6 days.

I've rarely met anyone who fills the qualifications of that poll, much
less
a majority of people I've ever discussed the issue with. I grew up in a
state where many people are religious, and attended many churches growing
up
despite not having a strong faith myself, and in discussion after
discussion
few people believed the "literal Bible" claim.

Try a degree in physics with a some quantum physics and you will see that
six days is quite reasonable. You will of course need to look at both the
single universe theory as well as the contrivance of an infinite number of
parallel universes to get it.

Catholics make up the other 30% of the US population that believe in
creation, but through evolution.
