So if people are dumb, it's their own fault.
As a side-note... The fact that people don't believe in evolutionary theory doesn't make them stupid. And being "intellectual", while it certainly has its merits, doesn't always mean you should question everything. It means you should draw your own conclusions about things, and sometimes that conclusion is to stay quiet because we simply don't know it all. |
I'd agree with you on the evolutionary theory comment, but I think that most people don't even bother trying to learn it. For me, I guess, it's the fact that most people immediately discredit it, not the fact that not everybody believes in it. It's just how it's shot down that bothers me, I guess.
But yeah. Agreed to an extent. Not a solid fact to work off of.
