An evolutionist learns about cognitive dissonance

 An evolutionist posted this on a creationist page.  Supposing to prove that creationists have this.  But as this excerpt demonstrates he failed to see his own malady.
christian 1 All atheist on this page suffers from that.

EVo. That's like a school playground statement I will say the same you just said

Matt SIngleton I will debate dozens and dozens of evolutionists for months without receiving one new fact or argument in it's favor.

Christian 2 I would say there are enough on both sides that suffer from cognitive dissonance... It makes it so much easier than having a reasonable discussion. All you have to do is accuse the other person of cognitive dissonance or any number of actual cognitive difficulties and the discussion is over.... and nothing needs to be addressed.
EVo Never seen any evidence on God to start to deny yet
 christian 2   See, you're living in denial already. wink emoticon

Matt SIngleton http://biblesmack.blogspot.com/.../god-as-historical... Here is historical evidence for God

A growing compilation of my own theological essays and commentaries and devotion also apologetic issues will be described as well.

EVo. How can it be evidence when it's from a religious site
Same as me giving up you something from an atheist site would you accept that?
Evo.  We will be going around in circles all day
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton Evo. so you are bigoted against all people of faith?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton am I going to need a stop watch or a time capsule?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton I wouldn't care the source. I would care if it were true.
Evo.  That would be called truth what's real in the world
Do you know the meaning of the word faith?
Look it up in a dictonary
Evo.  Here is a clue what real evidence looks like?
Maybe you are not interested because it conflicts with your religion?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton evo http://biblesmack.blogspot.com/.../what-do-we-believe... believing the truth is not wrong.

Matt SIngleton evo.  still waiting for your evidence for evolution....
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton I know you need Christians to come up with every branch of science including the scientific method. So have you been able to use what we gave you to come up with any evidence for evolution?
evo. Where is the scientific research on it?

evo. So bacteria didn't evolve to antibiotics ?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton evo.  no, bacteria has always been bacteria. the process of natural selection goes on a downward spiral. the bacteria immune to antibiotics is not fit to survive especially competing with normal bacteria.
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton Sorry I took the time to read your article. the only one that seemed slightly different is a universal genetic code. though I don't see why it would conflict with creationism.
Evo. You don't really understand how evolution worlds do you?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton How it worlds????
Matt SIngleton
Evo. The DNA has changed in the bacteria to make it resistant to antibiotics
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton Then it got ate up by the other bacteria
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton You are ignorant of the research aren't you?
Evo. What are you talking about now?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton check your grammer
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton and you need to get some real research.
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton the mutant strand of bacteria was immune but it could not survive in the real world outside the hospital
Evo. It's called spellcheck because I type fast
Evo. Please post that research you have?
Matt SIngleton
Evo. What mutant strand?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton the antibiotic bacteria was a mutant strand. The antibiotics killed off the competition. but that was only in the hospital. competing bacteria kills it off easily.
Evo. Couldn't find the link to the research or study done on it
It's just someone's bull shit opinion

evo. All these are religious sites with no research just someone's opinion
Do you not have any real evidence at all?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton evo. you don't geta PHD in molecular biology at seminary wink emoticon
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE FOUND OUR CASE OF COGNITIVE DISSONANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
evo. So that's evidence it has evolved I thought you were against it
evo. No I agree it has evolved
evo. So now you are agreeing evolution is real?
Matt SIngleton
Matt SIngleton that's adaptation. your cognitive dissonance makes you mentally encapable of listening to anything by creationists
