I'd wager most religious types slot right into that category, they don't want to understand, just sit wide-eyed and slack-jawed while a good bit of fantasy fiction is spun for them.
Spouting anti-religion crap all over again rather than keeping posts specific, Gstan? Why can't you keep your anti-religion crusade to yourself, and just discuss the observational data that we all have access to? In fact, most religious types actually believe in the big bang and evolution, so what are you crying a river about? I did myself for a big part of my life as well, like when I read the books by Stephen Hawking, I agreed with him because it sounded authoritative and convincing. Now, after doing more research, I'm really glad that I don't "just believe what I'm told about a situation", and that I "bother to check the facts for myself".
I'm challenging you to logically debate the scientific data in that other thread, so come on - debate your favorite topic, astronomy.
Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
