Is there a formal term for when someone believes something wrong, but the more proof that's shown against them, the more they believe it? Like how Candide's Pangloss twists every indication that his best of all possible worlds idea is nonsense into more proof that it's true.

I was thinking about insane Trump/Liberal supporters.

Cognitive dissonance.

Atheists/evolutionists are a prime example. No matter how debunked their theory is, they still believe in it.

I'm probably falling for bait here, but if you genuinely don't beliebe in evolution then you're a retard

Many people don't believe in evolution.

The general foundation on which evolution is grounded is in part due to Charles Darwin's asshat interpretation of Thomas Malthus, which Henry George proved incorrect.

It is remarkable how many retard kiddies under the age of 20 blindly believe the evolution without read The Origin of Species

Find me a mainstream scientist that doesn't believe in evolution.

>>2426801
So you didn't read The Origin of Species I take it.

Sad!

Moving the goalposts and appeal to the authority in a single post.

Many such cases!

Ah, so you're a troll then. Go it, moving on.
