"Religious indoctrination (aka brainwashing) involves creating a filtering system that blocks out conflicting information. The most favored method is just simple denial. Yes, very frustrating for the science community to spend their time, talents and education furthering the scientific knowledge of the day, only to have believers of ancient myths just brush it off and/or try to diminish it to their same level by calling it a 'faith'. Religion prospers best by keeping its adherents dumbed down."
"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
