Craig Steiner said:
The zealots (both religious zealots and scientific zealots) will stubbornly claim that their position is right to the exclusion of all others--and perhaps they are right, but their failure to understand that they might also be wrong about their interpretation is what makes them a zealot and impossible to talk with. While there is merit to that point of view, Craig, surely you realize that it does not apply to all situations. For example, if someone claims the moon is made of green cheese, I'll stubbornly refuse to believe him, indeed won't even waste time listening to whatever arguments he uses to attempt to support his claim. Would that make me a zealot? I don't think so. |
