The emperors new clothes con trick, if you havent heard the story of the emperors new clothes its basically a story where a con man tells a king he will make new clothes for him, but the clothes are invisable to fools, so he gives the king nothing, tells him to put them on and the king pretends to see them because he doesnt want to look like a fool. he parades around the village and no one else wants to be exposed as a fool so they all pretend hes wearing clothes except for one young boy who just says "whys the king naked?" and exposes the whole con. It isnt a true story obviously its just a fable, but is used as a simile to describe other situations like it.
Evolution is a proven fact.
It has so much evidence for it that it you would have to be an uneducated credulous cretin to doubt it.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
