Challenge #03408-I120: Solid, Scientific, Documented Evidence

They say that whenever people have to choose between doing what's right, and doing what's easy, they choose what's easy. But what of those times where doing what's right is easy, and doing what's wrong is more difficult? Why is it so many choose what's wrong anyhow? Especially those who struggle to continue to deny basic scientific fact, and deny what's, quite literally, staring them in the face? -- Lessons

Humans are, as a species, considered insane. They do many, many things that defy logic and reason. Chief among these things is the flat-out denial of truth and reason. Or, for that matter, the evidence they had once championed. Those confronted with the evidence of their own experience immediately deny it as some variant of fraud.

Case in point, the First Contact with the Firmament of Divine Providence.
