| 81. Well, therein lies the entire problem: they are willingly ignorant. |

When people know next to nothing about history itself, when they believe the world is only 5,000 years old, when they believe that "Rome fell when it turned from God", when they believe that God 'saved' this continent for Americans, when they believe that Noah saved every species on the planet all on his nifty boat, then it's pretty much a futile endeavor to explain anything to them that doesn't fit their preconceived boxed thinking.
