There are lots of someone's who do. Mostly because all that stuff is carefully presented to *sound* right.
As an example that bit about the "halos" in rocks is based on a standard con technique. Shifting the subject without appearing to do so.
Rock *formations* may take millions of years to form. But individual hunks of rock, especially the kind that have those "halos" in them *solidify* over fairly short periods. The "halos are used to measure *how long* they've been solid.
Spiral arms in galaxies aren't fixed features.
Gas and oil deposits exist *because* they are trapped under layers of rock that they *can't* leak through.
And so on.
But all that stuff *sounds* like it's poking holes in BS that scientists are trying to "put over" to disprove the young earth/creationist "theories".
But if you know the *actual* science you know where the guys pushing *this* stuff pulled their "bait & switch" tricks.
Try reading that particular comic from the start. There are less than 50 strips so far so it won't take long. And you'll see what he's putting forth as "true". And I'm pretty sure from back when I bothered to argue with him about stuff in one of his other strips, that he's *not* trying to put over a bill of goods on the readers. He just believes what the snake oil salesmen pushing creationism and the like have told him.
