I will give as much credence to the realistic existence of the purple people eater as I will to the christian god, which is to blatantly and reasonably assert that no credence will be given whatsoever. A claim should only be taken seriously under the circumstance that it is not absurd from the start, and a god claim is absurdity at its finest.
Translation:
"because if the world was spherical we'd all fall off of it!!!"
Truthfully, do dismiss 'evidence' because it does not fit your narrative or your elitism's definition on what evidence should be is the ultimate absurdity, as witnessed by those who thought they knew the world was flat!
Remember sport the TOP scientific minds of that day made a mockery of those who did not think as the population did concerning the world's shape.
This is the KEY: The question why??? Why were people mocked and disparaged for not believing as the rest did? the answer is pride. The Pride in the idea that their world view was complete and they themselves knew the world to be flat so NO EVIDENCE WAS EVER GOOD ENOUGH.
Sound familiar?
You are not even willing to question your foundational principles Why not? are they so fragile? Or is it against the intellectual's rule book? Must intelectual questions and change only come from the top? are you not able to question or think for yourself?
