One thing I have noticed on YouTube is that the Creationists who
post videos there tend to disable the ability for others to leave
comments about the videos, and they some times even disable the
ability for people to rate those videos. "discoveryinstitute" (DI)
disables the ability for people to leave comments--- showing an
intellectual cowardice that is typical of Creationists.
Conversely, YouTube videos posted by non-Creationists tend to
invide comment and opinions. In the videos posted by those who
defend science, one can often see hundreds of replies.
Creationists are, indeed, gutless.

Did you think this sentence through? Using a calm and forthright tone
_while_ exposing creationist lies and absurdities is by far the most
effective way. The smart readers will remember your content. The rest

is this how you deal with moon landing hoaxers? with cryptozoologists?
with flat earthers? with 9/11 conspiracy theorists? do you sit there
and calmly prove them wrong or do you call them fucking idiots for
believing such stupid bullshit?
I've been in a lot of discussions, on- and offline. It's amazing how
many times calling people fucking idiots for believing such stupid
bullshit hasn't changed their minds. Can't think of a counter-example,
in fact.

you cant change the minds of these people, you can only teach people
accurate information the first time. it doesnt take much to make the
average kid understand that his PSP depends on scientists, and that
anti-science nuts are fucking idiots. |

One of those categories doesn't below in there (in part). Cryptozoology
runs the gamut from the respectable to the crackpot.
