And just because it is expected doesn't mean it should be accepted.
If people aren't willing to drop their world view, they are the problem.

You've never heard the saying "progress occurs one death at a time"? An alternative version is "progress occurs one funeral at a time." I can't find who the quote is attributed to nor when it came into being but I'm pretty sure I heard it as a child. One could interpret it in many ways but I think it gets at what

If you feel that it's an easy process to change world views then you likely have an open mind, but you also probably don't believe too strongly in anything. These people have based their entire existence around a popular interpretation of the Bible. Telling them to go outside of it would be like flipping all of the colors in the world for them. They're used to seeing things a certain way, and changing that is jarring.
