Lutherans are one of the more moderate sects. If you're comparing Lutherans and Catholics, then the Catholics will look pretty hardcore relatively speaking.
The Protestant sects that tend to be creationists are sects like Baptists, Pentecosts, and other evangicals - as well as Calvinist sects like Mennonites. Not to say that there aren't some Catholics in there as well, but most Catholics don't take literal meaning from the Bible... Catholics are like Jews in that they try to interpret meaning from symbolism. Of course, that is just a huge generalization.
