I came here to talk on the mercury forum and it was there that I was asked to watch Kent Hovind videos. I knew virtually nothing about creationism and I was pretty surprised that people believed these things in this day and age. So I had a look at this other forum here and saw that hardly any evolutionists were talking on it, and I started to post. If Russ hadn't been so enthusiastic about Hovind, I would never have come here. Blame him if you are looking for someone to blame.



No, I think we're simply looking at the human capacity to cling to a rigidly-held belief no matter what the evidence says to the contrary. Sometimes people say, as we've seen in another thread here, that they're going to cover their ears and not listen anymore, because they do not yet want to deal with the facts. This is called cognitive dissonance. Another choice a person can make is to synthesize the new evidence and alter their world view, though this is admittedly difficult for anyone and takes some courage. Glenn Morton managed it; I assume you've heard of him in your years of debating.

Tell you what. Why don't you start posting some threads showing us how creationism is real and scientific, rather than complaining about those who give evidence that it is not. Presumably that's why you're here, yes? To put forward some evidence for your own position?
