Just look how a totally outdated and disproven belief (creationism) still has it's fervent believers.

Most people who don't embrace science do so for one reason.
Science is not easy.
And genetics, evolution and other biological sciences are among the most difficult of all.
Our media doesn't help, most of the time, either.
Every year some ditwit on the news speaks about a "missing link," when that term is hopelessly outdated.

Others have their agenda.
"Scientists are mad/greedy/shills/whatever..."

And some are simply nuts.
"The voices told me science is fake..."
