Maybe I am slow on the uptake here, but what, exactly is the reason why, if you take everyone in the scientific community in any given Western city, you can count the number of people who believe in creationism on one hand and in some cases on an amputee’s hand?
What's more amazing is that a small subset comprised solely of evangelical creationists have convinced themselves that the entirety of the scientific studies of geology, paleontology, biology, and cosmology, are all completely wrong by huge orders of magnitude.
Even the 9/11 Truthers, Moon Hoax people, and Ancient Alien peddlers snicker at a 6,000 year old Earth.
People so hugely impressed with the idea that Professor Proton admitted he wasn't present at the creation don't seem to realize that if that argument holds water, then either every creation myth is true, or the oldest one is true [because that "witness" was demonstrably there before anyone else.]
If it's the oldest one, then the creation account given in a book of Jewish legends isn't even close to being true. If it's every myth, then there are uncountable numbers of Gods, and the world is, among other things, riding on the back of an elephant or made out of dung.
