I know. I've tried to reason with these people, but it's futile.
No matter how much evidence you can provide, they just won't see it.
What I don't understand that these people take the Bible literally and can never accept the evolution and age of the Earth. As Tim said, you can prove it to them many times, they never believe you. You have to take them by word and nothing else matters! *shakes head*

I know, I have read the Bible and taken Bible study classes so by the standards here I’m kind of an expert😇 But seriously, there’s a lot of fantastical stuff in the Bible like talking animals, some of the plagues of Egypt in Exodus and natural disasters caused entirely by divine means, all in the Old Testament. I believe Jesus was a real person who did great things and was a brilliant prophet and teacher, that he was the son of God and was resurrected on Easter Sunday, these are the main beliefs about Jesus in the New Testament.
However, I don’t believe in talking animals, plagues of the first born or God making earthquakes. Evolution is scientific and both the account of the Garden of Eden and Noah’s flood have parallels in different faith traditions, such as floods in the epic of Gilgamesh in Babylonian mythology and Pyrrha and Deucalion surviving a flood and creating a new race of humans in Greek mythology for the latter. It is possible to be a Christian and not believe in talking animals or divine retribution for natural disasters.

And these nuts believe that the Earth is only 6000 years old.
Of course, there are those pesky fossils that say otherwise.

This made me howl. WTF happened to the "Party of Lincoln"? Literally a race to the bottom since 1968.

Great picture. Yeah, the Republicans have declined, very deep even.

This is a great picture, Betty. Trump supporters are seriously unhinged and sore losers. I’ve had defriend people on Facebook because they’re convinced there’s election fraud and they were talking about stockpiling weapons, I don’t need to be associated with that. It’s crazy that people think a centrist Democrat like Biden is the second coming of Stalin or Mao, they’re getting fake news and think it’s real. They’re worse sore losers than little kids in gym class, but with kids it’s understandable

Abe, Teddy, and Ike would hang their heads in shame if they ever saw the current Republican party.
Hard to believe they went from Abe to Orange.

Yeah, poor chimps but the impression of Trump's followers is that way. There are no manners, just childish outgrowths - of an adult though.

They take in whatever bullshit gets spewed at them without ever fact-checking or thinking about it. And, Mark Zuckerberg keeps reeling in the $$$. Abe, Teddy, and Ike would hang their heads in shame if they ever saw the current Republican party.

It's racism. Dick successfully exploited white grievance over the Civil Rights Act in 1968, and that has been the GOPee "brand" ever since then. Ray-Gun railed against " welfare queens" and was the original MAGA, while HW used a Black felon as a boogeyman to tear down his opponent. Dubya and Orange only continued from where they left off. Orange, in particular, is a perfect amalgamation of the GOPee's finest since 1968:

And Orange is the worst of the lot.
Thank God he's on the way out.

Yeah, he seems to be the result of a long decline. And now that the Republicans have tied themselves to him, they go down with him. They made that choice, so they have to live with the consequences. End of story!

It would do the Republican Party good to expel Orange. He has not helped them in any way.
