Their voting is a result of their stupidity not the cause. It's the goddamn 21st century and these clowns still act like it's the 8th. Other than a mental condition I find it hard to explain this kind of devotion to unreality.

I find it easy to accept their gullibility. I just have a hard time with their voting.

Particularly in school board elections.

I really don't know who is the bigger fucking idiot, here. Patton for pushing this absurd hoax or you for falling for it.

At least Patton is making money selling his bullshit to morons. What are you getting out of it?

This is Dr. Patton claiming that the recent NAMI expedition is a hoax. He is not a liar and does not go around providing false evidence to everyone so he can make a buck. If he is, then he would have gone along with it. He is an honest man, and after two eyewitnesses saw Glen Kuban walking around the site with a lead pipe, he went through a polygraph test just to prove he wasn't lying (Kuban still has yet to accept a simple test). All this vicious slander is really no better than the "Christians" out there telling everyone "God hates fags".

And you know Patton is not a liar... how, exactly?

(Edit: I missed the polygraph bit. Question still applies.)

Pro-tip: There's a very good reason why polygraphs are inadmissible as evidence in the USA.

I presume you are referring to Patton's claimed taking of a polygraph test which he describes . Note the specific questions asked, below. People are able to convince themselves of many things, be mistaken about their experience, and even edit and create artificial memories based on true ones; all these are perfectly within the norm for memory and eyewitness testimony, not to mention the possibility for self-delusion, as is suspected in the behavior of the likes of Duane Gish. So, even if the results of a polygraph were really valid science, his passing one on those subjects is no evidence that he didn't alter the man tracks, not realizing it, or believe the "facts" he answered which he testified to be true, even though they weren't. A polygraph test is little more than a test to see if the person displays the bodily signs of stress and anxiety when giving certain answers (including, in some, vocal stress); if Patton actually believes his own lies, or is somewhat anti-social and doesn't really care, or perhaps is a psychopath, the test won't pick up signs of stress and false answers will be recorded as true. Eyewitness testimony is simply unreliable and unpersuasive, especially after a long time has passed, and from people possessed of significant biases, and any other kind of evidence trumps it easily.

The questions were as follows with my answers in parentheses.

Regarding your statements about the Paluxy evidence, do you intend to answer my questions truthfully? (Yes)

Did you ever misrepresent Paluxy evidence? (No)

Did you alter in any way evidence to make false conclusions at the Paluxy site? (No)

Have you intentionally lied about the evidence you found at the Paluxy site? (No)

Maybe I missed something but why are we discussing whether or not Noah's ark has been found? All you need to show that there was no global flood is to realize that every single piece of known geology says there was no global flood. Really! It's that simple! There is absolutely no way a global flood occurred unless God decided to get sneaky again and cover his tracks as to make it look as if there was... well... no global flood. Never mind that the fact that geological distribution of organisms completely destroys the idea of Noah's ark story (as well as the fact that basically every species of fish would have died.)
