How many of you who claim to be firm believers in, and followers of, Islam (or Christianity, or Judaism) then also believe in the story of Adam and Eve (albeit with slight variations), that they were the first human beings, and that all mankind descended from them?
In theory, in order to be a true believer, it is also necessary to believe in Adam and Eve as being the ancesters of all human beings, dead or alive. Which, by implication, also means that Adam and Eve's children married/reproduced with each other.

According to a Gallup poll (from 2014) over 42% of all Americans (ie over 130 million people), a relatively well educated population, believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago.

In U.S., 42% Believe Creationist View of Human Origins
PRINCETON, NJ -- More than four in 10 Americans continue to believe that God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago, a view that has changed little over the past three decades. Half of Americans believe humans evolved, with the majority of these saying God guided the evolutionary process. However, the percentage who say God was not involved is rising
