I'm not sure it works that way. You think they are purposely ignoring evidence of an Ark, or a great flood, or a 6,000 year-old planet, etc.?
one day somebody said to themselves "I dont believe what I have been told about God, let me go find proof that things are not how people say they are, let me go make a new discovery of my own" and so they began their search from a certain viewpoint, one that rejects God. They did this because of a moral issue. They used theirimagination tto fantasize about ways in which things could be, and when they found something that they could use as evidence for one of their imaginary ideas they started to construct a theory. That is how all science works, particularly "history" science (concerning unseen events of the past)
Theres plenty of evidence that supports the biblical account. Indeed, all of the evidence does.
