Mainstream Christianity has been so influenced by the Enlightenment that’s its views are now totally different from those of 400 years ago. But the beliefs of some Christians in the United States have hardly changed at all. A recent poll found that almost one third of Americans still believe that the biblical story of creation is literally true.
In the 1970s American fundamentalists came up with their own version of science, “Scientific Creationism”. Creationists base their core principles not on observation and experiment, but on the Bible. The Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, was set up in 2007 to give Christians a history of the natural world that fits with a literal interpretation of the bible.
