Perhaps the larger issue is why people deliberately bury their head in the sand, when they know full well the earth is spherical, and work under that assumption in most of their normal life. I get that as humans we have an uncanny ability to suspend disbelief, or believe in things that aren't supported by good evidence -(happens a lot in religion, gambling, relationships) - but the concept of actively trying to achieve that state, rather than see it for the anomaly it is - completely confounds me.
Evolution is one where most of them try to use pseudo science to disprove it. Every single anti-evolution argument i have read it boils down to 1. There is no evidence for macroevolution 2.Fish grew legs how is it possible.
Yep, every single one of them! Ask them for evidence, there is a long list of pseudo scientists and young earth creationists who are on it usuall.y
