Despite a full century of scientific insights attesting to the antiquity of the earth, more than half of our neighbors believe that the entire cosmos was created six thousand years ago. This is, incidentally, about a thousand years after the Sumerians invented glue.
Sam is referring to believers in the Young Earth theory. More background on that theory can be found here.
We may explore the Young Earth theory at some point at length, as it’s proponents believe that the reason that there is no scientific evidence to support their claims is that the scientific community conspires to suppress such evidence, hence it would provide a great deal of material for our Conspiracy Theories category. Unfortunately, exploring their claims would require me to read profound amounts of their material and as yet I have not had the stomach for exposing myself to their drivel in such large doses.
