For example, the world has been shown to be much more than 10,000 years old, there is plenty of evidence that evolution exists, and many Old Testament stories bear strong resemblance to stories in other religions. Yet many Christians claim that fossil records are inaccurate without providing any scientific evidence to support their claims. They use no proof other than spoken word and wonder why creationism is not taught in most schools. Relying only on spoken word and scripture to discredit science makes those Christians look like they have their heads in the sand. I understand why Christians don't want to let go of their beliefs when challenged by science, but why do so many Christians stubbornly refuse to allow their beliefs to evolve alongside knowledge (like the great Saint Thomas Aquinas suggested)?
