The creationists who infest Idiot America are victims of the child abuse called religious indoctrination and their disease is almost always incurable. It's a waste of time to help them. If they can't figure out what's real on their own they will never figure it out.
What motivated me to wrote this post was a quote I found on the internet which I think is brilliant.
"You can't reason someone out of a position that they didn't reason themselves into. A creationist will usually figure out the absurdity of his position on his own, or not at all."
-- A young woman, internet name Ashnod.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
