How many people believe that God created the earth?

Answer 1

As far as I know there many people in the world who believe in existence of higher and spiritual power. As we know there many religions in the world though it does not mean that whoever practices any religion is the believer of spiritual power. There some who use religion as a mean through which they can gain material things for sustaining their lives and those who can be considered to the really believers. So what is true is that many people do believe in higher power though it becomes great when the country or the world in general is involved in a difficult situation like war and calamities, and the great number of believers are women.

For in many cases it becomes very difficult for them to ask why are we believing in this or that? they are in many cases oppressed within religions but even though they continue to practice such religions and there a few religions which provide power to women but many of them especially the old ones don't accept it. So it show to me the women are actually faithful people though not all of them.

ANSWER 2:

According to Adherents.com, only 16% of the world's population are non-religious and/or do not self-identify as believing in a Higher Power.

Answer 2

This is not easy to answer, and what follows is not intended to be offensive.

First, you must accept that a belief in any sort of creationism is a religious concept, so resides solely in the realm of religion. There are nineteen major religious belief systems of the world.

Of the nineteen, Christians make up approximately 33%, Muslims are 19.6%, Hindus are 13.4%, 6.4% follow Chinese folk beliefs, Buddhists are 5.9%, 3.8% subscribe to a variety of other ethno-religious beliefs, 2.5% are Atheists, 1.7% are New Agers or New Religionists, 0.4% are Sikh, 0.2% are Jewish, and 0.17% are a variety of other beliefs. The remaining 12.7% are non-religious.

Then you must define what you mean by God.

Christians, Jews, Muslims, and a few others believe in "God" or "Allah."

There are those who believe in the Christian God. Some believe in Allah, essentially the same. In these cases God or Allah created the universe and all that is in it.

Hindus, the next largest group, have dozens of creations stories. Not all of these involve the actions, or conscious actions of a supernatural being.

Buddhists are not concerned so much with what or how as much as why. there is no deity in Buddhism anyway, so it really is a mute point.

Most of the other folk and ethno-religious beliefs have some sort of deity who did the creating, and most parallel Judeo-Christeo-Islam so closely, there is no real reason to discuss anything specific, so this becomes a simple "Yes, they do believe god created the Earth and everything."

Sikhs are similar to Jew/Christians/Muslims.

Who knows what New Agers think or believe. It could change with the flip of a crystal. Literally.

Atheists do not believe in God, god, or the gods, so dead end there.

So, roughly 79.07% believe that God, god, or the gods created the universe.

It is difficult to determine an exact number, as beliefs in the creation of the Earth vary among different cultures and religions. However, surveys suggest that a significant portion of the global population, ranging from around 30% to over 60%, believes in some form of creationism or intelligent design.
