And I would support Thor in that.

You say to show them the evidence.. that's the problem, is the evidence has been shown. Over and over. I've had it argued against me on this very forum that scientists are part of a conspiracy to promote evil evolution. That's the kind of thing where polite disagreement is over.

If someone honestly seeks to know more, that's great. If they are open to changing their mind, wonderful.

It's the dogmatic ones that reject evolution on principle because it disagrees with their interpretation of the inerrant scriptures that deserve no more politeness.

That's how I saw the post too.

They may not deserve any more politeness, and if that's the case, they don't deserve to be pointed out as stupid either. Irrelevant would be a better label given his stance.

How can you blame people for being unwilling to learn if you are unwilling to continue to try and teach?
