That's because creationism is a much easier concept to grasp than natural selection. I don't think any of those people even took a college survey course in biology.
Actually, the nature of science remains beyond their grasp. Once you posit a Creator whose nature is mysterious you are no longer in the realm of the scientific. As Stephen Jay Gould put it, science and religion should be considered "two non-overlapping magisteria".

You should always pay attention to people who are smarter than you when they are talking about their area of expertise.

The reason that there are people who think like this is because a lot of xtians will not read, listen to or watch anything that thier preachers tell them is ''of the devil'' In other words...science. They are taught that the devil can sneek into thier hearts when they open thier minds to such things.

True. The sheer denial and misinformation these people cling to is truly alarming.
They severely misquote or misunderstand science, and then argue against it. If only they could understand how foolish they look..!!
Ignorance will be the undoing of this planet, and religious nuts have it in bucket loads..

And most of them think that global warming is a conspiracy fabricated by the scientific community. Because they all know that science lies!
I have to laugh, to keep from crying!
...and we have to share our oxygen with these people.

True but peoples beliefs comfort them and they cling to what they believe not what is right or what is proven. To each his own.

EVOLUTIONIST!
Evolution only has OBSERVABLE evidence. That is its greatest weakness. There is far more evidence for Creationism, but it's all unobservable.
What kind of theory relies on observation, like a crutch?
