Apparently, it's because engineers are taught to think and argue like creationists.
Engineers are getting a bad rap. Nothing in their education teaches them to argue like a Creationists. However, engineers are not scientists, and many of them don't learn anything more about geology, biology, or cosmology than any other rube. Most engineers do not work with subject matter on a day to day basis that forces them to confront evidence that creationism is wrong.
All of that said, at least the electrical engineers who post here don't seem to argue much like Creationists.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison
