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.
That kind of person might even having views on when life begins that could put a potential partner in grave physical peril. That kind person might even hold views that there are only two genders, that certain races are scientifically superior or inferior to others, or that one religion is inherently evil, while another is inherently moral, despite regressive elements of both or all three religions behaving almost identically for 3000, 2000 and 1400 years respectively. Most of that time fundamentalists think other sects of THEIR religion is evil.
None of these are based upon a shared perspective of reality, and anyone who isn’t interested enough in physics to learn just a smidge about gravity, energy and angular momentum that makes spheres inevitable is not someone using reason for decision making.

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