Don't appropriate open mindedness to promote your bullshit.
- claar 8y agoNot long ago, popular opinion was that God created everything, and anyone claiming otherwise was a fool and a heretic. It wasn't considered open-minded to consider alternatives, because popular opinion had already come to its conclusion. Now evolution has become the popular opinion. Unsurprisingly, humans continue to be just as closed-minded as before -- unwilling to even consider or debate alternatives.
- craftyguy 8y agoThe alternative, in this case, is the "god created everything" theory that was previously popular opinion. Refusing to continue considering that 'alternative' is not being closed minded, it's being progressive. It's as if, after discovering the Earth is a sphere, continuing to entertain discussion that the Earth might be flat. It's a waste of time.
