Does anyone really know what they’re talking about when looking at large scale concerns? Scientists are the only people really trying it on for size and their job is to ridicule and scrutinize any and every other scientist with their findings. They want all their papers and they want to test the other’s research with the hopes of disproving it. The ultimate bullies, really. Or maybe they’re the ultimate community of people. Never looking at the surface of anything. Always digging to see every variable, every molecule, every atom…every galaxy. Hats off to the scientists this Christmas. If only people actually gave a shit what the scientists found. They’re researching and working harder than the 99% of the human race yet any Sam, Dick, or Harry has a “theory” to debunk whatever a group of incredibly hardworking and intelligent researchers have come up with. The hard-headedness of this nation should make anyone who even semi-understands science (evolution, for a well-timed example) feel like they’re living amongst physically functioning, happy to be deaf, dumb, and blind, rocks. History could also be a great eye-opener for our walking rocks. This is not meant to start a fight, only to enlighten –and that doesn’t actually involve seeing a white light.
Disclaimer: I am an average citizen who knows surface information on Christianity and general science. I’m not a walking rock in either direction. I actually try to keep an open and aware mind.
Quick lesson, for those curious to know:
