Good find, thanks for sharing. I never even knew there was an alternative to the evolutionary model I learned in school and media until well into college, and then only by providential accident did I begin learning of an alternative. I suspect that’s why most “educated” (i.e., indoctrinated) people are evolutionists - they simply don’t know anything else, and are trained to be dismissive of any challenge. They were never persuaded by evidence, a belief was simply inculcated and assumed.

Good post.
This applies in many areas—including some “taboo” ones.
It takes a lot of determination to deconstruct what you were taught in school. If it is not an area of particular interest there is no reason to do so—so the lies stick.
Many Freepers have accepted a whole bunch of leftist lies—but do not even realize it.
After a lie has been repeated over and over and over again for many decades it becomes internalized—and very difficult to remove from a belief system.
If it is one of those lies where fighting the consensus means you are fired from your job or even become an outcast from your social group then most folks will just put their hand in the sand and refuse to even think about it.
