      Rummages my brain in EU (Could you pls explain who this references? Assuming this is even referencing a single person. Google listed Jim Inhofe’s wikipedia when I looked up “us senator mountains” but the article didn’t say anything about mountains)

        No one is saying mountains aren’t real - that’s an example to show the absurdity of denying facts. The person referenced is a “creationist”, and probably doesn’t reference one specific person. The biggest thing with creationists is denying evolution.

        The term you are looking for is “Young Earth Creationism” and a very significant amount of religious people believe it to be fact.
