You know as well as I do that substantiation will not be forthcoming from that quarter. It’s sad but true that a sizable, important part of the conservative movement has decided that they would rather accept a Seventh-Day Adventist armchair geologists’ early 20th century notions about the earth than the evidence the earth itself provides.
This is especially troubling as, according to their belief system, the earth itself is the work of their God and should therefore be a perfect and inerrant record of his work.
That they are capable of such cognitive dissonance is troubling, considering how important they are to the political viability of conservatism in this country.
Cognitive dissonance indeed.
