"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: if we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth."
Sagan, a devout atheist, was naturally at odds finding 'the truth' among mortals of a fallen world. God Himself said "Am I a man that I should lie?" True, heartfelt faith is our only means of contact.
You'd think when your own life and your children's lives and health is at stake that people would want to examine every angle, but no, they'd rather play the three wise monkeys.

Bill Nye said that if Ken Ham showed him evidence that the earth was 6,000 years old he would change his mind about how old he thinks the earth is. Would he, though? Does Bill Nye really follow the evidence, or does he believe things in a religious like fashion just as Ken Ham does?
I’ve used this line here before that I heard in an audio book about the JFK assassination and cover-up, ‘People want to believe in a truth, they don’t want to know the truth.’
That quote says it all.

Your story spurred my new substack you have to search Tom Max to see it!
I like this one better (Mark Twain I think): "it;s easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled."
