I suppose you have a pretty good point there. Children are the easiest to manipulate and if one can stick something in their mind it's likely going to stick there for the rest of their lives. Sunday Schools as kleinbl00 mentioned must have played a major role in the development creationism. Looking at the US religion page it dawns me that majority of US Christians are either catholic or baptist. The prevalence of creationism is starting to make sense to me then. To compare: 97% of the religious population here is evangelical lutheran and the church itself accepts evolution theory without conflict to its teachings. In fact I'm officially evangelical lutheran too. My children wont be.
