: Please, please PLEASE, Robert, at least TRY to understand the theory you are arguing against. It is impossible for you to construct an effective counter-argument otherwise.

SDF: But why bother with understanding the other side, when refusing to do so keeps one's ideological tortoise-shell intact, and thus offers so much more of an immediate reassurance, so that one won't have to do any scary thinking?

At least Robert hasn't offered us any need to do any thinking of our own -- fundamentalist dogmatism is easy to understand, so once we know that his psychological defenses rely upon the reiteration of "Biblical truth" as the answer to topics ("speciation") not dealt with in the Bible strictly speaking, no more need be said about Robert. All we need know is that he thinks he knows where all the answers can be found.
