    This isn’t an “American” problem though

    26% of Europeans believe astrology is “very scientific” with 43% believing it is at least somewhat so.

    While there is no real data on the age of the universe things you can look up, searches by country for creationism, or skepticism of evolution, show western european countries to largely be 15-40% skeptical of evolution, and eastern europe is much higher on average, but also contains the lowest skepticism of it.

    Search “skepticism of evolution in Europe by country” and you will get information - it took me several hours of reading, but it was all on that search
