50. Well, since you are being an ass about it, this is why I doubt your facts.
Edited on Sat Feb-26-11 09:00 PM by humblebum
By the 2010 Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches, from which members in the United States are combined with Canadian members, and of the National Council of Churches, the five largest denominations are:

The Catholic Church, 68,115,001 members
The Southern Baptist Convention, 16,228,438 members
The United Methodist Church, 7,853,987 members
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 5,974,041 members
The Church of God in Christ, 5,499,875 members

Out of these it is well known that the Catholic Church and the United Methodist Church don't advocate the young earth theory of 6-10000 years. Those numbers would indicate that you are probably quoting something you got from an bogus website. However, they all adhere to a Creator.
