    Yes. I grew up in the Dutch Bible Belt, with very strict evangelical parents. They sent me to a Christian school that taught a literal interpretation of the Bible. So I was taught at home, in church, and in school that Earth was created about 6000 years ago.

    Not the person you asked, but it's commonly taught as science in a lot of Christian themed curriculums, including a lot of homeschool programs.

    "It" being Creationism.
