Creationism is now 100% reactionism to modernity. A religious person in the late 19th or early 20th century may have maintained a creationist belief because, well, there just wasn’t as much known about earth’s past in those days, compared to today.
But today - creationism is all about staking out an identity.
Much like Drumpfskind and his followers, who are in full scale revolt over the passage of time and the changes in society.
