Thanks Jack, glad to help.

If you cherry pick your examples and explanations it isn't too hard to make any argument sound plausible.  And if they can continue to suppress the teaching of science or at least make sure it stays "dumbed down" they can get away with these crazy explanations. The perpetuation of ignorance has always been a means of control, whether it was political or religious.  The sick part is that it is as much about controlling and manipulating their own followers as it is getting their way with the rest of us.
