    You’re absolutely wrong. Subtle visual media is far more powerful than any direct argument. Just watch the debate between Ken Ham and Bill Nye it’s a perfect example. You can’t just tell someone they’re wrong and expect them to change their mind. People need to arrive at their own realizations.

    That’s why creating content matters. We don’t engage with content the same way we do with people we consume it, reflect (often subconsciously), and move on. But over time, with enough content, those messages start to shape opinions. This shift will never happen if we rely solely on “facts and logic” to win arguments. People simply don’t operate that way.

    At this point, after decades of the internet, it’s ignorant to think otherwise. We should all know better but somehow, we still don’t.
