I think that we're at this point debating a distinction without a difference. I think that the "horrible incompetence" is often itself a form of dishonesty, in that it pretends to a level of competence that isn't there. Either way, there's a difference between regular folks that are just honestly wrong, and religious zealots who have put in the effort that could make them informed and just makes them entrenched in their incorrect beliefs.borrofburi said:Though I certainly agree there are actively dishonest creationists, and even many who are dishonest with themselves for whatever reasons (e.g., fear of the threat of hell). I just want to iterate that some are just horribly incompetent in weird ways (not that I think you're missing that, just that I figured it was worth mentioning).
