Lies from the pit of Hell.
Republican says evolution, Big Bang theory 'lies straight from the pit of hell'
Why do they believe the world is 6,000 years old?
It's because "6000" is an easier number to envision than "1 billion". These people are small minded.
The other reason is that if the universe truly is billions of years old, there's a very good chance that the universe doesn't revolve around them. It's more comforting to believe that the entire universe exists solely for our pleasure, than knowing that it's vast, uncaring and utterly indifferent to whether humanity lives or dies. The thought that there is nothing looking out for them specifically, and especially not on an individual basis, is often too much for some people to grasp on an emotional level.
Comforting lies have often been more popular than truth.
