Not really: the title of this submission editorializes the original title changing the very concepts. The term 'Earth' does not even appear in the article body.

The original title is:

«40% of Americans Believe in Creationism»

Can any moderator fix it ASAP.

Is the term 'Creationism' something a non-expert in religion is supposed to know about? According to the survey it seems 40% of Americans willing to answer a survey happen to know this, but I'm not so sure the other 60% + error margin happen to know this definition, which the 'editorialization' might be clarifying to common language.
> supposed to know about

For that matter, none of the things we discuss are part of a universal preparatory course.

> the 'editorialization' might be clarifying

And yet potentially states a falsehood in more ways, on literal facts and possibly indirect. Pretty trivial, and a reason why the guidelines are very clear:

  Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize.
