Mainstream christians sneer at gnosticism because, deep down, they know it makes more sense; it doesn't fall apart in the face of the problem of evil. Mainstream Christianity tries its best to ignore the problem altogether, or engages in mental gymnastics to confuse itself so much that it cannot even understand it. This is because, as in the tale of Adam and Eve, they fear that acknowledging the truth will earn them the wrath of the demiurge they want to pretend is God.
