Because average people can watch a rock drop. But watching evolution happen takes rather more. The American public does not have much of an attention span. Certainly not enough to become educated about such a long-term process like evolution.

Creationism, however, takes about two seconds to explain: "God did it!", followed by one second of intense staring.

You don't actually mean to imply we're stupid?
