I totally want to educate some too! And I'm certainly an optimist!

I was just saying that the psychology of these people that speak as this guy named "Faith" does is very distinct. If you want to educate them, offering disproof is not the way to do it. Beyond that, as I said, if someone thinks that something like the world flood is possible, then there's many other things they need to be educated about.

Telling people like this that the flood didn't happen (or similar claims) is asking them to take, on faith, something equally as arbitrary. If they learned more facts about the world around them and how it worked, then they'd come to these conclusions too (as they're obvious).

I guess what I'm saying is "teach a man to fish."
