On the matters of faiths, beliefs, sciences and worldviews.

The one thing I just don’t get about the whole evolution/creation debate is why the one side thinks it is a virtue to be completely and utterly ignorant. Geerup and AronRa have been having a back-and-forth for a while now, but it’s not really a discussion of the typical sort. It mostly consists of Geerup spouting something completely wrong and provably false, with AronRa having to spend ten minutes of video-time correcting him.

Geerup has the right to have his opinion, of course, but I just can’t understand why he still thinks he actually knows more about evolution than AronRa. I can’t understand how he can watch AronRa correct his incorrect assumptions and outright lies over and over and over again, and still come back the next day with the same drivel yet again. Geerup isn’t just ignorant in general, he is willfully ignorant of his own ignorance!

Hell, it doesn’t even stop there. Some other creationist (sorry, don’t really know who he is) even feels the need to mock AronRa for – wait for it – being smarter than himself! Seriously, one the side of evolution we have trained professionals who actually know what they’re talking about, and are able to coherently and concretely explain it to everyone else, and on the side of creationism we have people who not only ignore corrections and explanations, but actually make fun of people for telling them why they’re wrong. Am I the only one seeing the problem here? Why don’t creationists realize what kind of players are on each team? This isn’t like those feel-good Disney movies, the team of raggedy street-kids with no training aren’t going to win this match. Or, they might, but not without breaking the rules and bribing the referee. The real winners in this game are those who actually know how to play.
