wittgensteinian ...
i think it would instead qualify as wittgensteinian 'mistakenness'.
​

Re: relgion does not equal insanity
I believe that the evidence on the side of an old earth is restricted entirely to radiometric dating methods. There is no other objective evidence. And that evidence is open to question. If you haven't bothered to read the threads on it, there's not much point to discussing anything about "reality" with you.
​
I thought you had decided that the science was right but that you don't make your decisions based on that.
​
I haven't seen your discussion of all the other ways that dating can be done, nor your criticism of radiometric dating, not your discussion of the correlation between them all. That later especially I've not seen answered by anyone.

Unconscious behavior
I'm not sure how we could know that since it's unconscious.
​
As noted, it is possible to test unconscious behaviours. Of course, you don't do much testing of your own unconscious behavior.
​
That is, however, likely to get a bit off topic so I suggest that is about enough.
