The problem with faith and believers in general. Be they believers in psychics, ghosts, aliens, Jesus, Xenu, etc.

Is that they have already decided what they want to be true and no evidence can convince them otherwise. Anyone who deals in the evidence must be either close-minded or naive at best or outright lying at worst.

Which is why scientists are either "Stuck believing the religion of Darwin and Scientism" or "On the payroll of big academia, silencing the truth about PSI and Nephilim!"

It doesn't matter that the evidence says comprehensive sex education prevents abortions and STDs. The "truth" is that safe sex is evil and cannot be taught without encouraging children to have it, because the truth was invented by "liberal pedophiles" who want to turn your children trans.

This is why skeptics beat the believers everytime. Skeptics follow the evidence and believers do not.

It's why MAGA will never turn on Trump, what Trump says is the "truth", evidence was created by the Deep State.

It doesn't matter that Trump is in the epstein files because Trump says he isn't.

It doesn't matter that Evolution is one of the most successful theories in biology, the pastor says it's a "theory in crisis"

A common lie from believers is the idea that the institutions are "slowly turning to" whatever their idea is.

As a former New Age I used to hear that Academia was slowly giving up on Materialism.. that a few stubborn higher ups were just too attached to their pet hypotheses. I didn't realize it was a scam till I realized creationists were told that "Real Scientists" find Evolution a little sus.
