We could speculate all day about what these religious fucking idiots think about stuff. But why?

It was just a fun thought. I used the dino immersives to show my partner what the AVP could do to impress her with the experience. And I thought it was funny that some people might be all-in and then be let down by a contradiction.
A young-earth-creationist who was a friend (we were friends before I found out and this was >20y ago when things were less contentious) took me to a talk about “The Truth About Dinosaurs.” The speaker said they didn’t exist or were dragons in the bible and walked with people. I was gonna attack him in a one-on-one debate during QA. Somehow, we started talking about how we both loved Macs and I decided it wasn’t worth it; he was a nice guy and I wasn’t gonna change his mind and this was one-on-one, no one else would be swayed. What if he got an AVP and the “lie” was the most impressive demo?
It was a shower thought that happened outside the shower. I thought it was interesting.

TBH it sounds more like you are getting a little smug high off of a hypothetical situation with what would seem to be a caricature of a less educated, easily gulled person. Young Earthers can also enjoy Jurassic Park.

I lived with a YEC (didn’t know it when we moved in). He was one of the brightest people I’ve ever met, which made it extremely surprising when I learned his views. I wouldn’t share a home with someone I didn’t respect.
I think YECs can be well educated and still live in the dark. You might be projecting.
