The Earth is around 6000 years old, all so-called fossil evidence is fake, radio-isotope dating methods are all a big con, Darwin was deluded (even though I've never read his book), all evolutionary biologists are dishonest and in denial of the real truth which is that God created the world and everything in it in one big go, and the Bible is the literal truth. I'm so certain of all this that I support organisations that aggressively promote it, try to abolish the teaching of evolution in schools and diss honest scientists at every turn. In fact, we've been so successful so far that four yanks in ten don't believe in evolution. Adelante! And don't expect me to listen to counter-arguments - my ears are sealed!

Chaps and chapesses, we've all seen this attitude displayed here. So do tell me. What respect do I owe this fellow? What respect has he shown to scientists and educators, and to the unfortunate intended recipients of his nonsense? If his ilk get their way, and millions of children are persuaded of this stuff, is that not abuse? A pack of lies sold as truth? So I'm supposed to be nice to him, to reason with him? We have a chap here who does just that and he's made precisely nil progress with him, and never will. Next suggestion, please!
