These people are not any different from those that think the earth is 6000 years old.

Is the basis of their beliefs for most of them the Bible? Because it talks about a tree or a tower that could be seen from every corner of the earth?

A lot of people are Christian and don't believe nonsense like a 6000 year old or a flat earth. But there are some pretty silly things you have to believe to call yourself a Christian even if you don't believe those two.

I always laugh when Christians criticize Scientology and its crazy as heck sounding story of origins. Scientology is zany and out there, but no more out there than Christianity.
