"How can people in 2019 deny evolution?"
Denying the established truth of evolution in the 21st century requires going out your way to know nothing.
There are other reasons including, for example, extreme stupidity, too lazy to look things up, zero curiosity, and too cowardly to accept reality.
Another problem: Science education is Idiot America is terrible. Most high school biology teachers in America know nothing about biology. I'm not making this up.
Another problem: There are numerous anti-science websites that sell anti-science bullshit. Mostly these are bible websites and other god-soaked organizations like the disgusting dishonest Discovery Institute. The crackpots who work there have made dumbing down science education their career.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
