Believers do not know what they are talking about
May 4, 2013 at 7:38 pm
I was catching up on my reading this afternoon and a survey article on plumes and plate tectonics had a quote that got my attention. The researcher was quoted as saying (paraphrased) my opinion is based upon theory not upon observation of the data. The general subject was plumes are great theories no one has conclusively observed them.

But I realized believers do not separate observation from theory from speculation from hearsay. They jump at anything that makes their beliefs appear to be superficially plausible.
