3. It's scientific to them.
What they don't understand is that all of science is about theories and hypotheses, and that when a new theory comes along that better explains scientific facts that theory replaces the existing theory, until a better one comes along.

For thousands of years, Bible believers, including scientists, believed the earth was 6000 years old and every creature was created by God in a few days. That was the accepted theory.

However, scientists have since found evidence that the earth is over 6000 years old, and that creatures actually evolve. Therefore, Biblical dogma was dumped as the accepted theory.

However, if ever God suddenly appears, gathers together a bunch of scientists, goes into a lab and creates a new species out of thin air, then perhaps we'll go back to Bible theory.
