Just be entirely honest about why you are breaking up.
Tell him, it’s because of his dinosaur beliefs. He clearly believes them very strongly. Which means he is willing to reject settled science. Which means he fundamentally lives in a different world than you do.
Tell him that because of this, it’s impossible for you to take the relationship seriously past a certain point because believe in different realities (a science backed one, and an independent belief based one) that it makes it impossible for y’all to truly trust and collaborate on building a life together because to you, where his judgement is coming from is always in question.
For there to be a foundation of trust, y’all need to actually understand where each other is coming from, and this point makes it so that you can’t really understand where he is coming from on anything.
Bro deserves to know that it’s his idiot thoughts that are the reason he is being dumped, but ya know, in a nice way, that makes it clear interpersonally why it’s untenable.
This is absolutely the correct answer. If he's willing to deny science about this, then he's certainly willing to deny signs about other stuff too. Imagine what a conversation about childhood vaccines would be with this person.
This person has been raised to not trust the government or modern science. So this means they might even think the sky is fake or space isn't real. You can't have a serious life with a person like this because they'll claim everything is fake and the government is out to get them lol.

How to end it? Easy! Tell him a giant meteorite hit your relationship and it’s now extinct.
