re: #4 Sharmuta

I again wonder if there is a correlation between creationism and nirtherism.

Back in the mid-90s, what was then called the Committee for Scientific Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) did publish a study that looked at the correlation between creationism and other unscientific beliefs among Texas college students. What they found was a strong negative correlation with such “new age” oriented ideas as UFOlogy, Bigfoot, and the power of crystals. There was a strong positive correlation with traditional right-wing conspiracy beliefs dealing with such issues as the gold standard, the Federal Reserve, and long-term deliberate communist infiltration.
Another strong correlation was with a belief in herbal remedies and supplements, chiropractic, and other “alternate health care” strategies as well as in the associated FDA/AMA conspiracy of suppression.

I have never seen this online but it was published in their journal in about 1995.
