> Do you believe that reasonable people can disagree?

On some things, yes. Reasonable people can disagree on the specifics of biology, but the fact of evolution is quite clear. To me, denying evolution is akin to denying continental drift or the motions of the planets.

If I was a True Red Blooded Conservative who just happened to believe in the Hollow Earth and regular visitations from the Ascended Masters in UFO's, would you just shrug it off as something reasonable people could disagree about?

The operative word in our dialogue being "reasonable". The definition of reason would then apply. And there is no quantifiable definition of reason.

Therefore, it would seem that much leeway must be given, if one is to be a 'reasonable' person.

Maybe you're just one of those wacky Raelians
