If the Biblical account of creationism is true, then so is the God of the Bible true. If the God of the Bible is real, then so is inescapable accountability for one's actions,words,deeds,thoughts etc..and eventual judgement.
Much easier to hide under the sheets with Darwin.

I wasn't there, so I can only take the word of someone who wasn't there either. Not exactly a very compelling argument, is it?
So, the Bible's account of creation is based on hearsay with absolutely no proof. How can I possibly believe that?
And if I'm going to choose to believe an account that is unfounded by evidence, then why should I choose the Bible's account? Why not the Egyptian gods? Why not Hindu? Why don't I just accept that man was created out of the dirt by Zeus? It has just as much credibility as the Bible.
So, that's why it's difficult to believe that. If you don't buy it, then tell me why it's difficult for you to believe the Nordic account of creation?

Why is it so easy for some people to believe The Bible's account of Creation? ..... seems a better question.
There is no scientific or other evidence for it, whereas there is plenty available for evolution, etc.
I can live with the Bible account as an allegory for teaching morals, etc, but I can't accept it as factual in the face of so much evidence to the contrary. Not without a lobotomy, anyway.

Perhaps we should remember how hard the church fought poor old Galileo on his findings that the earth was round--which directly contradicts the Bibles teachings that the earth was flat (Samual1-Ch2v8 & Psalm 104:5)--in fact---they never officially forgave him until 1992!!
In fact we can only know what is true---but discarding what is false.We now know that some Jewish God DIDN'T invent the world in a week some 6-10 thousand years ago--so logically we dismiss it as yet another myth.

Because it is so patently absurd and directly contradicts itself in the first 2 chapters? I have respect for individual faith and beliefs, but those who think that the Bible should be taken literally are completely missing the point of the it and are doing their religion a great disservice.
Before I am accused of being anti-christian, I say the same thing for any religious text that explains how the world was formed.

Why is it so difficult for some people to believe in the Native American creation accounts? (or pick another groups creation story)

Why is it so difficult for you to believe the egyptian account of creation?
Ra-Atum was the first Egyptian god. He rose into existence from the first primeval mound of earth that extended out of the Nun, the dark, watery abyss. After a while Ra-Atum . . . ummm . . . pleasured himself, took his semen in his mouth and then spit it out to create Shu and Tefenet, brother and sister as the god of air and god of moisture, respectively.

Well to start with, there are two accounts in the Bible both of which differ with each other.

The same reason it is difficult to believe that a fairy came into my bedroom, took my tooth from under my pillow and left me a quarter. Where do fairies get the money anyway?

Because the book of Genesis is packed with absurdities. It starts on the first day, with God seperating light from dark, but he only creates the source for light four days later.
It's all downhill from there.
