In principle, there should be no controversy over well-supported scientific evidence, but sadly this is not always the case. Not only do people dispute evolution, many deny the existence of man-made global warming, despite incontrovertible evidence.

Why do intelligent people expound such views in the face of the evidence? It is likely that their particular worldview plays a part, particularly when the plain findings of research challenge beliefs or opinions they hold dear.

I would dispute the notion that creationists are intelligent. They are frightened little assholes who can't bear the thought that their bullshit is not true.

I think there is a core issue at work within them. So, yes.

For many of us, it was more a case of ignorance and not recognizing that we were using the conclusion as the starting point and working backwards. Even so, once you apply a bit of intelligent thought to the concept, you are quickly on your way to not being a creationist. How long the process takes depends on how stubborn you are.
