What is it with theists refusing to educate themselves on what the scholarly consensus is? It's making my ego huge and it shouldn't be.

How about this... A thousand doctors diagnose ten people. The majority, those with the higher education who have found out the most in their careers, agree on the diseases. A few, generally those with less academic credentials, disagree. Who should we rely on? Easy stuff people.

Maybe so. Hard for me to make a judgement on them.

It may be significant but what does it prove about what actually happened?
