Unlikely.

Also unlikely. In the US, "Creationism" is a
Christian phenomenon (the ideology that the
Genesis account of Creation is historical and
must be taken literally and can be demonstrated
scientifically). It is preached by Christian
ministers and publicised via Chtistian websites
and publications. This leaves the vast majority
of Jews out, who don't subscribe to biblical
literalism. It leaves Muslims out, who don't buy
into Creation as the first couple chapters in
Salvation History that definitively end with
Christ.
