I’ve been looking at videos in support of creationism and their attempts to dispute the theory of evolution out of curiosity. It’s fascinating to see their arguments—baseless, but cloaked in misleading intellectualism—and entertaining to see the inflammatory battles it erupts in the comment section.

The stereotype of being godless and adrift in their stable world of objective morality has negative implications. But it’s more than that, these people have gone through a shitload of criticism, they are the minorities in a world dominated by the agenda of Darwinism, and for them to retain their belief signifies obstinate and unyielding stubbornness. They hear the way people get hard-ons for science, glorify science celebrities like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye, quote passages from actual scientists like Richard Dawkins as if were a religious authority figure, and revere Darwin as if he were Christ himself.
