Well, there we go: We now have to rewrite everything in from a "creationism" POV --because external, independently unverified polls, with unknown demographic factors and unknown questions, have expressed an overruling of both science consensus and WP-local consensus.
Why is WP consensus not US general consensus? As people become more educated and involved in NPOV-based projects, the move toward rationality. NPOV requires at least a rational basis for article craftsmanship, which implies rationality in other areas.
IIRC, the typical MBTI for WPdians is quite different from the average majority. WP by default is represented by bookish, eristic types. PR crusades by any particular irrational POV, regardless of its representaion, is bound to fail, simply because belief=irrationality, hence not NPOV.

I think that's 82% of the US specifically though, no? For other Western countries the figure will be considerably lower.
When asked by name whether they believe in or
lean more towards
the "theory of creationism" or the "theory of
evolution", 57%
indicated creationism, 33% indicated evolution,
and 10%
responded "not sure."
Again, 57% I call "most".
Is that 57% of the 82%?
