I escaped the evangelicals and they had incorporated a lot of pseudoscience. Young earth creationism had enough "answers" and gotchas vs established science to cloud things to a point you could easily shrug and focus on the important things (like fighting off the gay agenda or the war on christmas)

And yet, many people remain in their steadfast belief to creationism.

"You ever noticed how people who believe in Creationism look really un-evolved? You ever noticed that? Eyes real close together, eyebrow ridges, big furry hands and feet. "I believe God created me in one day". Yeah, looks like He rushed it

Refuting Creationism - Conflict and Ritual Killings In Europe - Evidence That Wouldn't Be There If The Bible Tales Were True
The story archaeology reveals is incompatible with the Bronze Age narrative in the Bible. Did God lie in the evidence or lie in the Bible?

Darwin here looking utterly exasperated, probably just heard another attempt to dismiss evolution with shaky creationist arguments. Science doesn't care about feelings; it just reveals how things work. While science progresses, creationism feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. #Darwin

this reminds me of this story

"Not only had "creationism" and "creationist" literally been replaced, apparently via a word processor, with "intelligent design" and "design proponent"," but sloppy global replacement lead to "Cdesign Proponentsists"

ncse.ngo/cdesign-prop...
excerpt from ref: For years, "intelligent design" (ID) proponents denied that ID is just a new label for creationism. However, it is now well-known that the first intelligent design "textbook," Of Pandas and People, is just a revised version of a classic "two-model' creationism vs. evolution book named Creation Biology.

Throughout his career, whether studying language, advocating a realistic biology of mind, or examining the human condition through the lens of humanistic Enlightenment ideas, psychologist Steven Pinker has embraced and championed a naturalistic understanding of the universe and the computational theory of mind. He is perhaps the first internationally recognized public intellectual whose recognition is based on the advocacy of empirically based thinking about language, mind, and human nature. “Just as Darwin made it possible for a thoughtful observer of the natural world to do without creationism, ” he says, “Turing and others made it possible for a thoughtful observer of the cognitive world to do without spiritualism.” In the debate about Al risk, he argues against prophecies of doom and gloom, noting that they spring from the worst of our psychological biases—exemplified particularly by media reports: “Disaster scenarios are cheap to play out in the probability-free zone of our imaginations, and they can always find a worried, technophobic, or morbidly fascinated audience.” Hence, over the centuries: Pandora, Faust, the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Frankenstein, the population bomb, resource depletion, HAL, suitcase nukes, the Y2K bug, and engulfment by nanotechnological grey goo. “A characteristic of AI dystopias,” he points out, “is that they project a parochial alpha- male psychology onto the concept of intelligence. . .. History does turn up the occasional megalomaniacal despot or psychopathic serial killer, but these are products of a history of natural selection shaping testosterone-sensitive circuits in a certain species of primate, not an inevitable feature of intelligent systems.” In the present essay, he applauds Wiener’s belief in the strength of ideas vis-a-vis the encroachment of technology. As Wiener so aptly put it, “The machine’s danger to society is not from the machine itself but from what man makes of it.” 76 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016879

Creationism and conspiracism share a common teleological bias
Wagner-Egger et al. show that creationism is associated with increased belief in conspiracy theories through a common cognitive bias: teleological thinking.

on humanity’ s ancient extraterrestrial origins. Thus he offers an alternative explanation of our existence that transcends creationism and evolution alike. All that, and he puts his underwear on backwards too. With his whimsical British accent, he confides to the audience: “A little while ago, I’ m thinking I’ Il empty me bladder before | speak, so |’ m fiddling and | can’ t make contact, and then | realize | put me underpants on the wrong way around. | didn’ t know whether | was coming or going.” Then he entered specific domains of strangeness: "A few years ago, | met a scientist who joined the CIA as a youngster, serving his country. He is a genius in the area of magnetics. When he started to work for the CIA in these secret projects, he realized that they didn’ t want his knowledge to serve humanity, they wanted to create technology that would help to control the mass of the population, and he rebelled against it and said, ‘I’ m not doing this any more.’ “He started to tell me a story and, as he did, he was opening his shirt. One day he left home and he started missing time. Doesn’ t remember anything about it.

Non-soul-believer here: I think it's because unlike Creationism which is a very specific position that's easy to see as nonsense, the soul is an incredibly vague notion that can stand in for any number of subjective experiences so it's super flexible for fitting into "rational" belief frameworks

the thing that confuses me is that people (rightfully) dont believe in a god or creationism due to lack of evidence, so like, why do the same people still believe in a soul

"Turns out Reed Richards accidentally created all of existence."
--preferable to weird Celestial's Creationist myth, confusing to kids comprehension of evolution. (Deviants are better evolutionary theory than Eternals Creationism, which is... protagonist?)

They may be, but I don't automatically blame scientists who showed up at one of the events; there are a lot of funding sources out there, some shady for one means or another (Templeton constantly pushes old-earth creationism, for instance), but one needs funds to do research.

For Britons unfamiliar with Palantir and Thiel, read this.

"...evangelical Christian tech billionaire and Palantir founder Peter Thiel was funding a science magazine, Inference: International Review of Science, that was publishing not only creationism, but full-on climate science contrarianism."
