For some time now, and I’m definitely being a broken record here, I maintain that the refusal to confront reality is based in religion.

Namely, the same problem creationists have when confronted with data about the earth and long-dead creatures.

My interaction with Trumpers on Facebook all fall into this creationist-reality-aversion paradigm.

My brother would agree. He is wondering if most religions discourage people from valuing scientific evidence. I agree to some extent, but wonder if people rejecting objective reality in favor of their religious beliefs would accept the evidence even without the religious belief.

This obviously does not apply to people whose religion and ability to recognize scientific evidence coexist comfortably.
