What is the term used to describe when that evidence is merely waved away with an imperial flick of the wrist?
Dogmatism.
Ive been discussing this issue for years. Rather than manually state all of the points over and over, I prefer to link people to them. And it is best to study the information from both sides. If you do it prayerfully and with an open mind, you should begin to see the truth on an issue. And often it is what you already believed, but you become a better apologist for it.
