1 possible reason: They often teach their children, their
students, &/or their parishoners that they have to choose between
"evolution or creation" - & some of their children &c, finding that
science supports evolution & not YEC, take them at their word and stop
believing in creation, & also in God. The warning of Mt.18:6 is
relevant.
