What..something that simple can't? Then how can this?

Nothing to learn here folks, keep moving.... go on down to the mud pie booth where things are really intelligently designed.

What the fuck are you even talking about?

If you keep asking questions like that of DGN you will never get anywhere (and most likely go mad in the process)

What you are witnessing here is the cognitive dissonance of DGN's subconscious breakdown, right before our eyes. Pay close attention because this is something you don't get a chance to witness every day...he has been a very entertaining subject these last few months....

Cognitive dissonance [link to en.wikipedia.org]

"In modern psychology, cognitive dissonance is the feeling of discomfort when simultaneously holding two or more conflicting cognitions: ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions. In a state of dissonance, people may sometimes feel "disequilibrium": frustration, hunger, dread, guilt, anger, embarrassment, anxiety, etc"

further...

"It is the distressing mental state that people feel when they "find themselves doing things that don't fit with what they know, or having opinions that do not fit with other opinions they hold." [4] A key assumption is that people want their expectations to meet reality, creating a sense of equilibrium."

Specific to DGN's case-study "DGN, An Online Study of One Man's Descent Into Cognitive Dissonance"

"Cognitive dissonance theory explains human behavior by positing that people have a bias to seek consonance between their expectations and reality. According to Festinger, people engage in a process he termed "dissonance reduction", which can be achieved in one of three ways: lowering the importance of one of the discordant factors, adding consonant elements, or changing one of the dissonant factors"

This is most plainly exemplified in his repiptitious, almost ritualistic posts displaying his seeming desrision and distain for Mr Darwin's theories, which he obviously finds some disoonance within his own internal belief systems, i.e; He has doubts about the vailidty of his religious beliefs

What you are asking, when you say "What the fuck are you even talking about?" is a question he is still clearly wrestling with and can not provide an answer to until he can find a way to calm his cognitive dissonance.

But don't take it to literally DGN...like I said, we're all crazy one way or another!
