Why do people still believe the Earth is 6000 years old (Young Earthers)?

[Mr Unicode]

Im serious, why do people believe this? Its baffling, It goes against everything that science has proven, its full of things that can be proven wrong, and worst of all, most people learn this in elementary school. How does one not learn elementary science?

Can someone enlighten me on this?

This explains less than a tenth of the argument and displays "QED" like it was tattooed on the author's face. Not a good source.

Okay here is another idea, the Jewish calendar starts at the year that is said to be when God created the World and since Judaism was the first Abrahamic religion, it tends to apply to Christianity and such as well.
