The thing is, believers DONT WANT to really 1
nderstand the science. They want people to tell them that they are right and evolution is wrong. This is why these ridiculous arguments persist even after they have been completely and totally refuted over and over.

It's like a mechanic that doesn't believe gasoline comes from the ground, or a pilot who disbelieves in how air flows over a wing.

stupid is as stupid does.
