Surveys display differing measures of origin belief in the USA.  Some surveys indicate that about 15% of American adults are [[evolutionists]], 40% are [[Old Earth creationists]], and 45% are [[Young Earth creationists].   Other surveys show similar figures, such as 13%, 27% and 55%, and 10%, 39% and 49% respectively.<ref>http://www.religioustolerance.org/ev_publi.htm</ref>, but the basic fact remains that roughly half of all Americans currently believe God created Man in his current form with the last 10,000 years.  America is unusual internationally in this level of belief in Theistic Origin, with five times fewer people in the UK, for example, believing in such origins.  In a survey of 34 countries  in 2005, the only country that had more widely held Theistic Origin beliefs was Turkey.  <ref>http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/08/060810-evolution.html</ref> <ref>http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/bigphotos/21329204.html</ref>
