Do you seriously know anyone IRL that believes the earth is only 6K years old? I know an old man, a morman high school science teacher in UT, he does not believe the earth is 6K years old.
My ex wife's mother had a roommate that believed the world was 6K years old.. She thought that things like dinosaur bones where placed in the ground by god just to test our faith. I just smiled and nodded a lot, because she was a nice old lady and I didn't want to argue with her. But, it was just bizarre.
Also worked with a guy back when Hubble launched that was convinced it would be the modern tower of babel and the the hubris of us wanting to see that far into space would show us the face of god and a new curse would be rained down on the world. When it turned out the mirror had been ground incorrectly and it didn't work as well as planned he claimed it was divine intervention.....
