Im saying the hysteria surrounding any lack of commitment to the idea is unwarranted, unless its as stated, a proxy for general conformity to a world view

I agree, in the popular sphere YEC is also more about conforming to the group than the belief itself

Not believing in real things isn’t some like cool rebel trait. It’s not cool and counter cultural to be like “I don’t believe in the existence of Belgium, unlike what all the mainstream conforms to”

Evolution is the foundation of modern biology and nothing about the biosphere makes sense without it. It’s like not believing in gravity or microbes or atoms.

Dude you're fine, I do the same thing all the time 😭😂 but exactly, preach!!! I have a Biochem degree, and it's funny to me when ppl try to talk about basic facts that are backed up by mountains of very accessible, comprehensive evidence like they're some sort of 'belief' I'm just ctfu over the fact that there are actually people who walk among us in 2026 who 'Don't believe in evolution' 😭

Speaking of evolution, humans should not have been the species to evolve opposable thumbs and such 😭 we don't deserve the power/utility we have, it should've been a different animal

I’m a biologist so whenever I see flat earth stuff I immediately start thinking about how biogeography would make no sense if the earth is flat which is a weird objection compared to all the other ways to disprove it. Like if Antarctica is an ice wall it makes no sense why we have evidence of marsupials and monotremes crossing over a green Antarctica between South America and Australia
