Why do so many people believe the world is only 4000 years old when science and common sense has proven otherwise?

Some religions and beliefs claim that the world's age is different than what is
claimed by scientists, just as some beliefs claim that there's heaven
and hell, or a god, while there is no scientific proof for their existence.
Because common sense is not an objective thing, and science does change with time, some people refuse to accept certain scientific theories that contradict their beliefs (which are their common sense). Their beliefs may not make sense to you, but they have the right to believe in whatever they want. And it is generally unwise to claim that information generated through science is "proven" or "factual". Better to leave those matters open, as suggested above. The danger is that when some new scientific insight comes to light, people coming from faith-based beliefs sometimes come to the illogical conclusion that if science is wrong, our religious texts must be right.

No, because if you believe in God. Then you believe that He was the ONE who created all things.

Its just that since people cannot see God, and or feel his presence, it is that, that has seem to what make people believe that God "didn't" create the world.
