To know those kinds of statistics, it handy to know eschatology - https://www.wordnik.com/words/eschatology
Creation is always linked to redemption. The reason that some don't take advantage of it is suppression of the truth. Why would anyone do that? To resist God's authority. Why would they want to do that? To maintain sinful beliefs and actions ... and they may not aware of it since 'the human heart is desperately wicked, who can know it' ?
"Christian eschatology is a major branch of study within Christian theology. Eschatology, from two Greek words meaning "last" (ἔσχατος) and "study" (-λογία), is the study of 'end things', whether the end of an individual life, the end of the age, the end of the world and the nature of the Kingdom of God."
In other words, the study of "end times" from a book of fables about a god that doesn't exist. If you want us to believe in your fables and your imaginary friend, you have to do more than preach and yammer on and quote verses from that hideous evil collection of silly old fables called the wholly babble. You have to do more than stick your nose in the air and tell people that you know the "truth" and that humans are desperately wicked. (yawn) Prove it. Facts, not fairy tales and threats.
