You would find a pretty good correlation in the USA between those who like free markets, doubt the science of global warming, don't care about the environment, and think humans were created 10,000 years ago by God."

I agree with your post except for the bolded. The last line is an insult to the free market folks and libertarians who do not share that view with some evangys. Some libertarians who like free markets view global warming and environmentalism wrongly as impediments to the free market. What they are in fact are issues the free market must take into account and contend with. The thinking of these dudes might be wrong headed but has nothing at all to do with creationism. I am trying to think of a lib insult to tree huggers that would be comprable but cannot come up with something off the top.

That's absurd, unless you really mean to say that only fundamentalist Christians like free markets or are able to read scientific papers.
