Someone who believes that the earth formed before all else just because it's written in an old book will believe all kinds of different things which are more severe, just because they are written or told by an authority figure. That's a recipe for doom.
Which is precisely why shit like this deserves to be treated with contempt and derision. Cranks like this need to be marginalized and kept at the fringes of society.
