And that is why you're not the smartest here Wink

Where is the "None of the above" choice?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

RE: Self Image
I checked "top ten." Just to show I'm not a total egomaniac.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Perhaps it's just that the average AF user is quite intelligent and knowledgeable, thus making the average intellect higher for this site. Smile

But if that's the case I wouldn't have chosen "average" - though I don't see an option for what I would have chosen otherwise.

I would have chosen "Uninteresting - so I mostly just read" except that I have enough arrogance to think other people care what I have to say about stuff. Tongue
