Real Life Adventures by Gary Wise and Lance Aldrich for May 12, 2015

Not me. I can’t afford to share. I need all I have.

The majority of comments so far seem to prove that ignorance really is bliss.

Remember, trolls are often the 95 percenters…

It also explains why most people walk around in a daze while playing with their smart phones.

Re the 95 percenters; I recall an episode on The Big Bang Theory that went something like this;Sheldon’s mother: Now you listen here, Ah have been tellin’ you since you were four years old, it’s okay to be smarter than everybody but you just can’t go around pointing it out to everybody !!Sheldon: Well, Why NOT?Mother: Because people don’t LIKE it! Remember all the ass-kickin’s you got from the neighbor kids?. Sheldon mumbles: Wouldn’t have been any ass-kickings if that stupid death ray had worked.

And therein lies the truth of America’s limp educational level in comparison to other countries of the world. Get an A+ on an exam and be prepared to be stoned to death by the 95 per centers..Just one of the first lessons I learned when I went from our old one-room schoolhouse to “The Big School” in town…

Barry Mackenzie and Ubintold have already responded to exoticdoc’s religiously-based ignorance (you’ll notice he didn’t say anything about the broken vitamin C gene, or about the fact that Human Chromosome 2 is a fusion of two ancestral chromosomes) in an appropriate manner, so I’ll just add that what you cite about Haldane shows how science works—testing hypotheses against the evidence from the real world, and modifying them as necessary, thus asymptotically approaching a full account of the truth.This is to be contrasted with religion which, as Sam Harris so eloquently stated it, “is nothing more than bad concepts held in place of good ones for all time. It is the denial—at once full of hope and full of fear—of the vastitude of human ignorance.”

I know evolution is true because God told me so Himself.

If you can try to use science to prove religion, I can use religion to try to prove science. But we’d both be wrong.
