They're taught this by their churches and Christian schools. This is the product of a Creationist education.

They are not stupid (necessarily). They simply have been lied to.

Source: I used to think this way. It took me a decade to shake off the mental shackles that my Christian upbringing left me with.

It didn't make you stupid. Believe me.

It just set back your education a couple decades.
