    Huh.

    Okay. First of all, there's a difference--and a pretty big one--between arguments and mind control. Even if they use poor arguments, it's not mind control. Hypnotism is mind control. Cults that starve people and subject them to chanting is mind control. These are just arguments.

    "Look. Here's some fossils. You know, there are people who believe that the earth is only 6000 years old, but these bones are way, way older than that!" Does not constitute brainwashing. It is a statement. A bit like "Some people believed that the Hebrew Moschiach hasn't come yet, but here! Look at Jesus!" isn't brainwashing. It becomes brainwashing when followed by "Those people will all die and be tortured forever" because it's a bit of a threat, but there's a difference.

    Lastly, if you believe new species can form, but don't think they come from other, already existing creatures--where do they come from? Spontaneous generation?
