Hahaha the religious nut called me a kook. I have to say, from a purely academic standpoint, it's pretty interesting how religion can blind a person, even when shown incontrovertible proof that some deeply held belief they have is wrong. I have a background in neuroscience myself, I wonder if they've ever been able to detect what parts of the brain are involved with inhibiting cognitive dissonance. There is a specific region that can induce religious experience when activated, I wonder if that's involved at all.
