Well, I'm not alone in my opinion so I feel pretty comfortable with it as do millions of other people.
Scientific illiteracy is (and always has been) pervasive in society - people can believe what they're "comfortable with" if they want to, that's their right.
Just keep in mind that something isn't necessarily true because a lot of people believe it, and don't expect what's taught in a school science class to accomodate your comforts, that's all.
