    Yeah, I’m aware of the “God of the Gaps” idea.

    But that’s not what I’m talking about, nor are those the types of people I’m talking about - people willing to take in new ideas are a much friendlier bunch.

    The zealot types, the self-proclaimed “sceptics” don’t just avoid learning about science, they actively oppose it. They ask questions like those @[email protected] said not because they want to know the answer, but because they’re trying to sow seeds of doubt into those who see them.

    Those questions aren’t made for you or I to answer - and if you do try, they’ll shout you down or sandbag you until you give up.
