"SPIEGEL: Professor Dennett, more than 120 million Americans believe that God created Adam our of mud some 10,000 years ago and made Eve from his rib. Do you personally know any of these 120 million?"

Bull. The 120 million figure is derived from a conflation of various loaded survey questions.

Agree -- there are nowhere near 120 million people in the US who believe that God made the first human out of mud. Not even if you count all the preschool-aged children who've been trained by their fundamentalist parents to spout "I believe [insert dogma here]" without any comprehension of what they're saying.
