Was it from that point on when you realized how smart you were and decided that anyone who questions Evolution is incapable of abstract reasoning?
Such scientific close-mindedness is cargo-cult science, my friend... I believe Feynman spoke on that one too.
- trapper 17y agoWhat? Anyone who understands the evidence for evolution should accept the theory, because it's just that compelling. If there is another explanation for all of the data & experimental confirmations then let us know, I'm sure you've got a paper in Nature awaiting.
- billswift 17y agoSome people who are otherwise reasonably bright have real trouble understanding systems. Interestingly they tend to accept claims about systems that they don't really understand that fit with their social/political associates. For example, liberals tend to accept evolution but question free-market economics because that is what their associates do, and vice versa for conservatives. Those that can understand both tend to become fairly libertarian, though remaining liberal or conservative on many specific issues.
