Jared v. Hovind

What makes you think that's wrong?

Uh-huh. Actually, you've just proved something that I've long suspected from "personal experience and general observation" - fundamentalist Christians are so brainwashed into simply accepting what they've been told by their religious community that they simply assume their opponents operate in the exact same way.Not everyone is like you, Buz.

It would, in fact, be impossible to ignore the havok centuries of sectarian conflict as wrought on our civilization; after all, when the religious get into disputes over evidence and interpretation and whatnot, people are usually killed.I don't recall anyone dying as a result of relativity surplanting classical physics; even Newton and Liebniz were able to carry on their decades-long disagreement about the origin of calculus without anyone actually killing each other. (In the interests of full disclosure, however, I did observe an outcast lepidopterist mauled beyond recognition at the most recent branch meeting of the Entomological Society of America.)
