I call it being selectively stupid. A bit like Buck really. He says Evolution is false, then goes ahead and cites "science" to prove ID.<quoted text>Impressive feat of mental gymnastics to be able to acknowledge the role and ability of science to put a man on the moon while simultaneously denying it's ability to illuminate the fields of research that may contradict your belief system.
I think its a disease of the mind. No person on the street is THAT stupid, but I guess Creationists seem to push the boundaries of ignorance every single day.
