Creationism is a coping mechanism for those who don’t want to accept and feel the depth of the painful world around them.

That’s the best I’ve come up with.

The physical world isn’t “painful”. It’s just the world. Young world Creationism assumes that God salted the world with fossils that show that Darwinism is wrong in his fundamental assumptions. It assumes an Active God in the manipulation of the world and its inhabitants.
