Very true.

And the longer someone has held such an extreme position, the harder it must be to ever admit that they have been wrong all that time. So the harder the brain fights to twist the world in order to fit it inside the biblical narrative.

One more bit of mental gymnastics is easier than stopping to consider that your whole position might be wrong. The cognitive dissidence must be maddening.
