"We live not a hundred million years but four thousand five hundred million years since the Earth was spun from dust and rock around the sun. The evidence comes not from our planet but from its satellite. The Moon flew off its parent after a giant impact. Because it stayed small, cold and undisturbed it gives a better picture of the past than does its parent. A quick trip by the Apollo XI mission was enough to date it. The Earth's turmoil makes it harder to trace its own origin. It's oldest rocks, found in Greenland and Western Australia are just under four billion years old."
When faith is divorced from reason (or religion from science), people then have no alternative but to believe whatever nonsense they can wrap their brains around.
Ignoring our faith center (our soul), does not get rid of our need to believe.
So, people end up believing in what actually makes no sense if all their systems were in order.
