    But the real reason that so much misinformation takes hold:

    Religion. Once you can get people to believe in something without proof, you can get them to do, say or believe almost anything. Thus a very appropriate quote:

    "When one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."

    The USA is second to last (behind Turkey) in public acceptance of the theory of evolution. Thus, why the USA has stopped evolving while other countries leave us behind to drool in a echo chamber of corrupt, greedy lies.
