Religious people find it harder to understand the world – study

As a teen I went to a Pentecostal church, but somehow managed to avoid the "evolution is a lie" teachings.  My best friend in the day was the pastor's 16 year old son.  I remember one time he said something, I don't remember what exactly, which was an explicit statement that dinosaurs were just made up.  In shock I responded that they had dinosaur skeletons in museums, to which he responded, "Really?"  I was too young and naive at the time to see that for the warning sign that it was, that the religious choice of my parents was a choice of ignorance.  Looking back at it today, 30 years later I actually find it more scary than amusing.  Had I stayed religious I could be an ignoramus today, which I find particularly terrifying.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately?  Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use.  Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel.  Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.
