Also researchers have a history. Anybody driving around with a bumper sticker stating 'God said it, I believe it, that settles it' does not have an open mind. They are not even making scientific statements. Show me a testable prediction based on flood geology?

Think of it this way. Would you invest in a project of someone with a hisory of promoting sand to gold machines or perpetual motion?

RE: 'sand to gold machines or perpetual motion'.

You're just a skeptic! LOL!

Seriously, these loony ideas are far more popular than sensible ideas.

Why that is is a question for mass psychology.

My supposition is that it's more psychically comforting to believe nonsense that reinforces one's own ignorant prejudices than to seriously contemplate the 'otherness' of ancient cultures or of esoteric, math-dependent science.

Three-card monte dealers make a lot more money than their debunkers.
