What I really don't understand is how people can reject the obvious truth of evolution.
Because it disagrees with the explanation that represented state-of-the-art scientific understanding several thousand years ago. That same science was of the level of sophistication that maintained the earth was flat and the sun went round it (although the Fundies are now desperately trying to pretend this is not what the OT in several places says). It beggars belief that some people can think thousands-of-years-old science is superior to all the advances in human understanding that have occurred since.
