PART TWO;

There is a serious problem on these blogs, which has become rampant among social media.  Often now the expression 'confirmation bias' is used, somewhat replacing  the cliche 'preaching to the choir'.  There is no earnest endeavor to know and get to the truth.  To some extent we all do this.  But, the Trads posting here have no intention to know, to find out a cherished belief is simply not true...they don't want to hear it.  There is the ever present issue of giving due consideration  to a post, an openness to information.  Rational thought would seem to want to know what is factually correct.  To accept information, this planet as static and unchanging, refusing to accept what science discovers and accepts as true is dismissed...doing so closes the mind to all learning.  Never will there be an exchange of ideas, an acceptance new information and a finding differing from the church authority or even a political belief.  Sagan said it best;  science is self correcting.
