People don't believe in evolution because, in my experience:
1- They don't understand what it is
2- It conflicts with their religious dogma
If it wasn't for point 2, most theists would probably accept it anyway even if they didn't understand it.
If anyone really thinks the whole is science is a conspiracy and not to be trusted, then... you're kind of beyond help. Again, science is not an organization. It is a set of tools. It would be like never trusting a hammer again because someone used one to smash someone's face in.
I guess some theists see science as being a similar organization to their own religion. That would explain a lot.
