Hello Russ,

Thanks for a very amusing thread. Of course people don't want to hear about truths that contradict their beliefs. That is why Cognitive Dissonance exists as a easily observed behavior pattern. And then there is the irony factor. For instance this:

Quote
Rocks and water do not conspire together to become highly-complex, self-aware, self-reproducing, symmetrical machines. Evolution is a myth.

"The problem of the origin of species has not advanced in the last 150 years. One hundred and fifty years have already passed during which it has been said that the evolution of the species is a fact but, without giving real proofs of it and without even a principle of explaining it. During the last one hundred and fifty years of research that has been carried out along this line [in order to prove the theory], there has been no discovery of anything. It is simply a repetition in different ways of what Darwin said in 1859. This lack of results is unforgivable in a day when molecular biology has really opened the veil covering the mystery of reproduction and heredity...

"Finally, there is only one attitude which is possible as I have just shown: It consists in affirming that intelligence comes before life. Many people will say this is not science, it is philosophy. The only thing I am interested in is fact, and this conclusion comes out of an analysis and observation of the facts."

—G. Salet, Hasard et Certitude: Le Transformisme devant la Biologie Actuelle (1973), p. 331.
Has nothing to do with evolution, but some fantasy about evolution that you carry around with you.

If you want to talk about the truth, you need to be willing to put aside your misconceptions. Somehow I doubt you are willing to do so.

Enjoy.
