And if they're determined to deem the other side the same side as the one they're seeing, they'll ignore it all, remain willfully ignorant of science, and continue propagating their ignorance as if it were fact until the end of time.
That's the point: you're not deducing your conclusions based on evidence, you're only accepting that evidence that fits with the conclusion you already have.
