"A person has a belief
A person is confronted with a piece of information

If this information is consistent with the belief then, information is accepted at truth. Little thought is given to it

If the information is inconsistent with the belief then the person must choose.
1) Modify the belief so it accommodates the new information.
2) Disregard the new information

(the second option, if it’s inconsistent, is a highly critical approach.)
People are very critical and place less faith in information that contradicts their belief. And they aren’t very critical at all about information that
confirms there belief.
This is called confirmation Bias"
After What I posted and read the responses I think your more right than ever about what you said above, especially about it applying to everybody. . Example "These facts do not chime in with what I belief so I will not attempt to put any effort to analytically research them I will declare them false according to the superior belief I have already. " It is a little funny to me, since it is posted on a religious sight it is a bunch of lies by Nobel Pries winners and scientist trying to promote their dumb religion, or something to that thought process. I doubt that they even considered that their words were going to be posted there, I am sure that they have bigger and better things to do than contribute creative false statements to a little web sight. But since that is what the conspiracy theory sounds like I guess that all of the info is un true and disqualifies the facts. That is truly enlightened and extremely critical thinking. But a Darwin theory can be read and admired and built upon as a personal belief without much qualm from other listeners?
