In a state where many believe the Earth is 6000 years old, a study that claims the faults haven’t moved for 300,000,000 years will be taken with a grain of salt, and a ton of religious fury.

I grew up in the area. I'm sure some of that will happen, but it is also BLATANTLY obvious to the people living there that something has changed. I have relatives that have lived in the area for 70+ years who had never experienced a single earthquake ever until less than 10 years ago, and now suddenly there are earthquakes once a month or more. They know something is up, and whatever their religious beliefs, they also know it started happening at the same time as the fracking equipment rolled in.
