Yeah, I'm aware of the "God of the Gaps" idea.

But that's not what I'm talking about, nor are those the types of people I'm talking about - people willing to take in new ideas are a much friendlier bunch.

The zealot types, the self-proclaimed "sceptics" don't just avoid learning about science, they actively oppose it. They ask questions like those @Ibaudia@lemmy.world said not because they want to know the answer, but because they're trying to sow seeds of doubt into those who see them.

Those questions aren't made for you or I to answer - and if you do try, they'll shout you down or sandbag you until you give up.
