We cannot suspend reality, nor will I withhold my belief in it, nor my defense of it, nor will I ever make any truce with any delusional belief systems. Isn't that what this war is all about?
The real difference here is probably smaller than the apparent vast gulf. We're all going to be very distracted with other stories, other threads, over the next hope-it's-not-very-long. Let us hope that the crevo action will be light-to-nil for the duration.
I will play defense (do nothing to start up the action) over said duration. (OK, not a big shift as I haven't started a thread in forever.) Nevertheless I share PH's intolerance for misrepresentation or fantasy masquerading as science and will respond to provocatively fraudulent posts where noted.
God bless you, Andy

You were absolutely correct - no truce, no compromise, no abatement of the battle with the ignorant can be useful to a modern society. But, on an individual basis, until they take their own first step into rationality, they can't be helped.
