    Creationists have lied about the science since the days of the Snopes trial. They’ve never stopped. All that changes is what form their lies take. They lie because their position is based on their various religions, and their religious truths take precedence to them over the actual truth. To a missionary, lying in order to convince a potential convert is a holy act.

      Is ID still a topic at schools? I remember back in the day we had FSM to point out how ridiculous their positions were.

        Not in civilized areas of the US. I can’t speak for rural schools in the Bible Belt, though.

    We have all kinds in the US.

    IMO Having discussions where disagrements are the norm, it is extremely hard to change minds. It takes a lot of effort and time so it is best when both parties just try to learn, from each other, while being informative and understanding on both sides.

    I was going to subscribe to Spotify premium just before they gave that twit 100 million bucks for his stupid show. But now I’ll never give those assholes a single cent.
