Because, in Archie's eyes, the scientists are either
a.) unable to admit that they were wrong
b.) unable to find the "truth"
c.) unable to accept Archie's divinely inspired and flawless theory (they're just infindels anyway......)

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.

Whenever you try to show facts/data/theories to someone like that, they say: "but how do I know it's true?" Then you show them more that back the previous up. They doubt again. And so on.
Because of their premise, those people (namely YECs) are constantly questioning scientific evidence- which is good- but then they take it too far by asserting that it is impossible for those evolutionists/other scientists to come to a correct conclusion.

EXACTLY!! The point of science is to question everything, not just ideas that you feel uncomfortable with. It is through this falsification that science marches on constantly, while creationists are stuck with: "no, wait, evolution is untrue! [whine]"
