| Re: New Scientist on evolution Creationists suffer from, "Confirmation bias" they should probably all go to their therapists and recieve some sort of counselling. (Not being a Dr, obviously this can not be a professional conclusion, but based on what I have read on the matter so far)
Confirmation bias in psychology: Professor Scott Plous said, "We tend to be willing to gather facts that support certain conclusions but disregard other facts that support different conclusions".
(Professor Plous is a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and the American Psychological Association, and has been the recipient of several APA division awards, including the William James Book Award)
Where as science is non bias where facts are concerned
PS. as mankind becomes more educated (more schools, higher levels of education etc...) this cult will diminish but not disappear.
