Why do "many non-mathematicians" find Cantor's theorem hard to believe?
I don't know! Maybe the idea of mathematicians telling them they can't do something is offensive to them. But if this is an indirect way of saying "please provide some evidence for this claim," here's some such evidence.
I think your references do not reference Hodges' thoughtful article on Cantor cranks (I may be wrong, as I only scanned them briefly), so allow me to recommend it: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~asl/bsl/0401/0401-001.ps
Thank you for the interesting link.
Sorry, it wasn't. I was just curious if you had any info.
