51% of Americans have yet to evolve
mrhnau said:They have their own opinions. No need to insult them by saying they are "not evolved".
mrhnau said:Part of the problem I've had with scientist has been the elitist attitude of "gee, you are an idiot if you don't agree with us". Sometimes it makes me quite sorry I'm in the field.
Andrew Green said:Don't mean to be nitt picky (ok, yes I do) but those 51% where the ones that said they haven't evolved. Telling them they had evolved from monkeys should be the insult...

I'm asking you to believe what I believe because you, yourself, can go out and replicate the 'evidence' that I have used to come to my beliefs
Go and use the tools of science and produce (reproduce) the evidence for yourself. If you are unwilling to do so, because of your beliefs, you are an idiot.
I think science may think that someone who makes claims about the nature of the universe while not taking advantage of the tools of science is an idiot.

While Ymir slept his under arm sweat begat two frost giants, one male one female, while his two legs begat another male.

arnisador said:I don't mean to restart that, mrhnau. Just anecdotal observation that supports the claim that it's a wide-spread belief.
