There are basically three
reasons.
1. People have a tendency
to believe what they are taught. And currently evolution dominates the class
room. There are teams of people (many of which are atheist) who work over time
to keep it that way. The ACLU in many cases has brought lawsuits against many
school boards for trying to teach the problems with Macro evolution. So
generation after generation is taught this is a fact. Only those interested
enough to check the facts later discover they were lied to. This is followed by
a process of trying to "unlearn it" so it takes time.
2. Evolution is a tricky word and can have many
meanings. Some believe evolution is "change over time". I would agree with that.
Things do change with time. Dogs over time make lots of different dogs. However
Macro evolution says a banana and a Dog have a common ancestor. It goes farther
to say that the ancestor started out as non living matter. And finally all of
that came from nothing. This I don't believe.
3. Humanist
and Atheist (in many cases are the same group of people) have to believe
something about origins, and God is not an acceptable answer for them. To an
Atheist (and even some Christians) Science is a study of the natural world
coming to conclusions that are naturalistic. In other words you can never come
to the conclusion that God made it, because in their mind that would be a
miracle and not scientific. Even if the evidence points to God, this evidence is
rejected because they presume miracles are impossible, or God is
nonexistent.
