Honestly, I think a better OP question would have been "why do certain fundamentalist groups continue to enforce purposeful ignorance?"
Its true people who are highly intelligent can possess completely wild and unsubstantiated beliefs so stupid is probably the wrong word, but they are most definitely crazy.
Anyone who believes the world was created in 6 days, is 6000 years ago, and that stories like Noah's Ark and Adam and the Garden of Eden are true is certainly crazy.
