Yeah creationists believe Beowulf really existed (just ask Dirch or GC or Alphamale) not just that but they are taught by their biology textbooks that Nessie is also real as well as some other cryptozoological/ mythical animals. Here's a page from creationist's textbook

And it's all payed by taxpayers.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
