Hate me, or forgive me, but religion is an antiquated idea and only for weak boneheaded people, imho. |
I object to calling them stupid to be honest. Most creationists I come across are normal people, with the same rationality and intelligence as you and me.
I think it's a case of selective suspended rationality.
For example, someone who believes Noah's flood actually took place for religious reasons, they will suspend their usual rationality when approaching it. They will find ways to believe that the flood took place, despite the fact that rivers still meander.
That doesn't mean they are this irrational all the time, just in this case. Most of the time they use the same level of intelligence and rationality as the rest of us.
We all do this to an extent (even atheists and agnostics).
