[QUOTE="Washington, post: 48959378, member: 8913"] I think it's all a matter of necessary denial. Any and all evidence that goes against creationism is, by default, bad evidence and doesn't merit further consideration. End of story. There may be attempts to set the evolutionist straight, speaking to evolutionist arguments, but it's never done honestly, that is, with an open AND fair mind. Evolutionary evidence first receives an "It can't be true" stamp. This would be amusing if it didn't impact so many people---half the population in the USA---and deprive them of a significant understanding of our world. But as with many forms of ignorance, if it doesn't impact their lives in any recognizable way, it becomes a matter of, "[SIZE=3][FONT=Book Antiqua]So what[/FONT]?"[/SIZE] "[FONT=Book Antiqua][SIZE=3]So what that I'm closed minded and don't know the specifics of what I'm against. It's enough to know that the people I respect (my preacher and such) are agin' it, even if they don't know the specifics either. I've picked a religion that feels good to me, so whatever it says must be right. Excuse me now, I've got a dead squirrel that needs skinnin'[/SIZE][/FONT]" [/QUOTE]
