Idiots who believe in talking snakes are quite capable of convincing themselves of just about anything.
Any particular idiot in mind? such as one Statler who came up with "non-isotropic propogation of light", which in effect says light would travel at whatever speed it takes to keep the biblical account intact in the face of astronomical observation, but changes its behavior to appear to travel at the normal light speed C when foolish physicists doubts such divine convenience and actually tries to measure light speed?.
In the same thread where he proponded this "theory", he claimed to be a "government scientist" who worked in genetics, argued against radiometric dating through a an arithmatic demonstration in which it was clear he had no clue how to apply arithmatic division to numbers expressed in scientific notion.
