"For instance, remember when we all believed the world was flat? Science couldn't yet (yet being the key word here) explain how we could not percieve of the earth's curvature on the surface, so everyone believed it was flat."
umm, incorrect. first though, you have to remember religion was science at the time.
remember galilleo was imprisoned for showing the earth not the center of the universe.
and it was old sailor logic that you seen the mast of a ship before the hull of that same ship on the horizon, proving a curvature to the world.
and there are still people the day that think the world flat.

but you can't really blame religion for it
science is the exact same way.
the big bang theory needs the actual recreation of the event to be proven, despite ALL OF THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTING it. including the background microwave radiation which is exactly as it should be if the big bang occurred, no other theory can account for it, yet people still do not believe it.
why? - it gives creationists a point.
evolution from a single celled organism to man is so incomplete, it can only be a theory, the ONLY thing supporting it is variation withing species, there is no evidence of one species giving birth to another. when trying to explain these they do the EXACT SAME THING RELIGION DOES, the mutations happen gradually over time, or once in while evolution makes a giant leap. with no verifiable evidence. there was a study done once where a scientist tried to "force evolution" on fruit flies, and through 70 generations all mutations returned back to the original fruitfly, some of the mutations would stick at the most 4 or 5 generations.
the study showed that for evolution to succeed not one member of the parent species could have survived beyond 2 generations into the mutation.

if evolution needed the same criteria as the big bang to be taken seriously it would be listed in schoolbooks the same as the big bang was when i was in high school, a two paragraph theory.
instead it takes up a whole year called biology, the first 27 weeks tells you how all this came from that, the last 9 weeks telling you all life has something called dna to keep the offspring resembling the parent and to prevent cross-species fertilization.
and anyone on a farm can tell you, mutations are frequent, quickly lost, and the most extreme don't live long enough to have offspring.
why is evolution so supported? same reason the big bang was ridiculed, it defeats creationists.
i'm not a creationist, i do believe in evolution; however, not in it's current form.
the problem is the same as religion though, to question it is ridiculed, and excuses take the place of facts to satisfy our belief of reality.
