The basic idea behind Fundamentalism is that The Bible is not open for interpretation and that it is to be taken at face value. Strict fundamentalists believe the world to be rough 5000-6000 years old. Since recent scientific discoveries, Fundamentalism has gone under scrutiny, however a large percentage of wealth in the United States is controlled by Fundamentalist Christians.
