I will never forget trying to explain how light years worked and that we were looking further back in time as we looked deeper in to space to my sophomore roommate from De Soto and him not being able to get his head wrapped around it and thinking I was messing with him.

yeah, people that believe this stuff aren't really the type of people that have any interest in admitting they might be wrong. I'm reading a book called "Sapiens" right now and I catch myself all the time thinking how wild it is that a very large portion of said Sapiens don't even believe how they got here.

It's gotten so bad that my (once?) very intelligent father is starting to deny the theory of evolution.

Cable "news" should have giant warnings that run constantly across the bottom of the screen 24/7.

Cable news is like a 2/7 on the misinformation scale, you should see the crap dax digs up in the pit.

Darn. I suppose I was mistakenly thinking I was in a world that had all but fully accepted that our universe, galaxy, solar system and planet were really rough ridin' old.

I think it's possible to deny we are evolved from primates, but certainly not to deny the age of the earth. I like the space alien theories of where humans came from, those are fun.

Disagree. Old people aren't digging up things for the most part. For some reason, they have been groomed to turn on a TV channel that says things that just make them mad. I'll never understand it, but its a huge problem.
