When an individual has a strong faith which is brought into question by contradictory evidence, the individual experiences internal conflict and reacts negatively such as going into denial mode.
It wasn't 192% decrease?Trump recently stated egg prices dropped 92% yet wholesale prices have clearly increased.
Yet some MAGA supporters accepted the assertion because of their blind faith in Trump.
This is an example of cognitive dissonance. When an individual has a strong faith which is brought into question by contradictory evidence, the individual experiences internal conflict and reacts negatively such as going into denial mode.
This type of behaviour has been observed in this thread.
... so they're cowards and wouldn't be able to put anyone in their place then.
No, they're not cowards.
They just know when to hold 'em,
Know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away,
And know when to run.
They never count those lies, sitting at the table.
There'll be time enough for counting, when the Judgement's come.
Quote Kenny Rogers' The Gambler as you might, but the behaviour your describing sounds heavily like cowardice.
If professional creationists from the likes of AiG, ICR et al are in the right, what do they have to lose by putting their thoughts and hypothesis out to the wider scientific community?
How many times do they have to do it?
Don't tell me you don't know where they stand.
I put my standards out all the time, but there are times when I think it's appropriate for me to do so, but I don't.

Time.
Oh yeah, the Rapture stuff.
What I meant was, they would be wasting their time doing it over and over.
Sounds like an excuse for cowardice.
Is this an example of what you want?
ICR: Magnetosphere too weak for an old earth.
Scientists: Magnetosphere [ooh eee ooh ah ah, ting tang walla-walla bing bang].
--- A month later ---
ICR: Magnetosphere too weak for an old earth.
Scientists: Didn't I say magnetosphere [umgawa]?
--- a month later ---
ICR: Magnetosphere too weak for an old earth.
Scientists: Did we not twice say magnetosphere [supercalifragilisticexpealidocious]?

ICR: Magnetosphere too weak for an old earth.
Scientists: What's the definition of "mental illness"? saying the same thing over and over, hoping for a change?
If they can show evidence for such a claim, then they have a leg to stand on. But they can't since none of the evidence supports such a claim. But at least they tried.
And once again, if they're in the right, what do they have to lose? If they're right, then they can keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going.
I bumped one of my oldies.
Just for you.
I don't care about your 'oldies', especially one which you've been told is wrong repeatedly and before that was shown to be incorrect anyway, and just the general fact that you really don't know a thing that you're arguing against.
TYVM for the QED
Oh, what's the QED this time?
Also, you're not a professional creationist. You don't get paid for it (that I know of).
Providing evidence doesn't work.
But you DIDN'T show evidence.
Oh ... ya ... I forgot.
Math can take a hike, can't it?
