Christian fundamentalists believe that The Bible is the inerrant word of God and everything within its pages is literal truth. Therefore most fundamentalists believe that Adam was the first human created directly from the ground around 6000 years ago, and Eve was literally created from the rib or the side of Adam. They also believe that around 4500 years ago there was a global flood that destroyed all of life that lives on dry land except for just eight humans including Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives, plus an ark full of animals, birds and insects (in most cases two of every kind). However, there are among fundamentalists those who interpret these accounts differently more inline with an older creation and a relatively localized flood.

Why do you hear about Islamic fundamentalists when no one reports on the Christian fundamentalists?

Christian "fundamentalists" don't blow people up or kill innocents because they disagree with what they believe. Christian "fundamentalism" simply means going back to the basics of Christianity as taught by Jesus. Islamic fundamentalism means going back to Mohamed's original method of spreading his religion, which was to conquer by violence those who would not accept his new religion. Remember Waco, Texas? The Christian Davidian movement? Christian fundamentalists who cause harm to innocents are reported on and are dealt with.
