I see it all the time with conservatives who keep watching Fox News and believing everything they say while ignoring or automatically poo-pooing anything which contradicts what they want to hear.
So it doesn't matter what scientific evidence anyone can show proving that evolution happens, they'll just keep being willfully ignorant and believe that all science is the result of evil Satanic atheists who are trying to disprove God's existence.
Spot on. Here's the statement of faith from Ham's terrible website. Of particular interest is the last point in section four: I don't know how anyone could have that passage on their site and still claim to be looking for truth, let alone answers.
Oh wait, right... creationists. Up is down, black is white, and discounting anything that contradicts you out of hand is a truthful position.
