This is breathtaking illogic. Can you even see that?

What I can see is science has disproven its "hard evidence" many times over in history. The earth may be 4.5 billion years old. Maybe the "hard evidence" in the future will suggest the earth is 140 billion years old. who knows?

The mere existence of a group of religiously-motivated people ignoring the hard science is not evidence that they are right to do so.

Okay. On the one hand you have geologists with their radiometric dating technology, and they say 4.5 billion years. On the other hand you have some religious folk who say 12 days, or 6K years, or whatever. All are shouting their answers at you. By what method do you decide whom to believe? Do you just average out all the various claims? Do you toss a coin? Seriously, what is your method for making such a decision? Do you have a method?

IOW, you're waiting for some evidence, any evidence, for what you'd rather believe. You're also waiting for a preponderance of hard evidence against what you wish were true to go away. But the preponderance is multi-source, large, and longstanding. You're also ignoring that science--for all its fits, starts, and corrections--doesn't just flop around randomly but rather converges upon an increasingly accurate representation of reality.

The evidence we have now isn't going to go away. You pretend it's perfectly reasonable, scientific even, to do what you're doing when it's nothing of the sort.
