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.
