> "Why are some scientific ideas hard to believe in?"
Because some scientific ideas are constantly derided and publicly ridiculed by moral, cultural and political leaders and institutions. If the church and half the country (still) held that heliocentricity were preposterous, it may still be as 'hard to believe in' as evolution is, decades after science considered it 'settled'.
