    They aren't even willing to consider the evidence that already exists, much less accept any of it.

    "Many believers admit that nothing could change their mind about their religious beliefs, which means they are no longer seekers of truth and have become, in essence, mindless religious robots. Religion consistently and effectively discourages introspection and inquiry. That isn't by accident."-- Bob Peters

    -Debating creationists on the topic of evolution is rather like trying to play chess with a pigeon — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.-Scott D. Weitzenhoffer

    “Rational arguments don’t usually work on religious people. Otherwise there would be no religious people.” - Gregory House, M.D. Season 4 Episode 2 The Right Stuff.

    I see a couple of individuals here saying that evolution does not affect their lives. They are wrong.

    Evolution does affect us. It affects our health. It affects our food production. Germs evolve resistance to our drugs. Some evolve so fast that we struggle to keep up. That's why we have guidelines on how to use drugs - especially antibiotics. We cause germs to evolve even faster because of overuse and improper administration. Similar problems exist with insects and rusts in the crop fields. Improper use of pesticides can cause insects to evolve resistance even faster.

    If you have ever been in a hospital or eaten farm grown grains and vegetables, evolution affects your life. To say that evolution does not affect your life is like using your computer to post on Yahoo! Answers and saying that electricity does not affect your life.

    What consequence is my belief in evolution? A consequence as an impact on my life or more to the point, how I live my life.

    I consider there to be great consequence to my beliefs as a Christian, and it is that belief that cause me to consult often my Bible in order to determine how best for me to live my life.

    But honestly, apart from school work assignments and grades, I have never found any consequence at all to the study of evolution.

    Perhaps I am just not in the right line of work to appreciate the subject as much as you think I should.

    Hope that helps.

    They do not care about any evidence, can't you see they only believe in stories, probably just religious ones, and have already reaffirmed their beliefs with the pretend fake faith they had to make up to confirm to their imagination that they heard a story repeated in their minds therefore it is true!!!

    Evidence seems meaningless to them. Hope thinks reality is trivial. Odd choice of words, another "good christian" here told me that people who aren't white are trivial too.

    If they took evidence seriously, they couldn't remain religious could they?

    Say no to drugs and gods. Stay real.

    You need to realize that none of them have never actually looked at a peer reviewed scientific paper.

    Religion, like urban legends, is based on stories that you can never attach to anything in real life. They know of no other way.

    For cultists, like christians, who hate science and math (because it disproves their cult BS) -- no proof will ever be acceptable. They have to first learn enough to walk away from their cult BS, and then they'll be open to science and learning new information.
