This isn't the real problem. The real problem is that those who support 
it **do not want a result that contradicts the idea that the first part 
of the Bible is literally true**. The Vatican recently mumbled something 
about how they believe, "god created the big bang." The answer of one of 
the *major* proponents of the, "youngish earth, AiG, ID is real", dear 
old Ken Ham, had to this was, roughly, "If the big bang happened, then 
genesis would need to be wrong, or allegory, but if it was wrong, then 
the first 'marriage' would be false, sin wouldn't be real, etc., and it 
would fundamentally destroy everything from Christianity itself, to the 
sanctity of heterosexual marriage. Therefor, the Pope is wrong!"

Its the first case of actual logic I have seen from the man. Yes Ken, if 
Genesis, which is the basis of virtually every bit of bullshit 
moralizing, persecution, and evil your religion has, or continues, to 
institute, was wrong, so would your entire religion. Congratulations on 
proving you can follow logic, even if you completely fail at accepting 
its conclusions. lol
