Wikipedia article about Bible-thumping morons, aka creationist assholes.

Wikipedia - Denialism - Evolution

Main article: Creation–evolution controversy

Religious beliefs may prompt an individual to deny the validity of the scientific theory of evolution. Evolution is still considered an undisputed fact within the scientific community and in academia, where the level of support for evolution is essentially universal, yet this view is often met with opposition by biblical literalists.[38][39][40][41][42] The alternative view is often presented as a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis's creation myth. Many fundamentalist Christians teach creationism as if it were fact under the banners of creation science and intelligent design. Beliefs that typically coincide with creationism include the belief in the global flood myth, geocentrism, and the belief that the Earth is only 6,000-10,000 years old.[43] These beliefs are viewed as pseudoscience in the scientific community and are widely regarded as erroneous.[44]
