Which people are those? I don’t know any!

Because if you get in the habit of ignoring evidence, then you can believe anything you want. And the more practice you get at ignoring evidence the better you get at it.

It is not just the evidence for evolution, but the very idea of evidence itself which is being rejected, so that it becomes possible to live in a world, where the truth is anything which tells me what I want to hear, and my truth never tells me anything that makes any demands on me.

Because accepting it can bring all of their beliefs about special creation, original sin, etc into question.

Those who do accept evolution, think it was with the guiding hand of their god; but those who deny it cannot allow even that possibility. If one questions the literal truth of any aspect of the Bible, one has to question all of it; and they simply cannot allow that to happen.
