In some of the latest versions, the next step, after persuading folks that their powers of reason are an illusion, is to take the followers to Jonestown, or invite them for a ride on a comet, etc. Welcome to Swami World. In this case, the entrance gate has "creationism" (or ID) signs plastered all over it. Just turn in your brain and go on in.
