They haven't been exposed to cogent, coherent arguments to the contrary.
This is very true. But we have looked for them.

Have you REALLY tried to find them in sources outside of this forum?
Of course. You don't suppose that my interest in creationism came about only after I'd joined a forum devoted to debating it? That would be odd. I read a great deal of creationist apologetics, and came to know it for what it was. As a result, I joined these forums.
Consequently I know a lot more creationist arguments than the average creationist, and a lot better, and am always ready to help them out when they recite their little lessons wrong.

I was actually referring to much more than creationism. There have been many more topics discussed here than that.
Well, what do you have in mind? Politics? Yes, I have read the writings and speeches of conservatives outside EvC forums, otherwise my knowledge of conservatism would be slim indeed. Also my sample would not really be representative.
Again I might ask: do you really suppose that I only became interested in politics after joining these forums? Do you really suppose that my knowledge of conservative rhetoric is limited to what I read on these forums? If that was the case, then you would have grounds to criticize me, but why in the world would you ever suppose that that was the case?
