It is sad so many humans worldwide think naked assertions that amount to "I really like what I believe" constitute a "victory" because they point to others who buy the same claims.
This group think is why it should not surprise anyone that if in the future Star Wars or Star Trek or Harry Potter got twisted and turned into a religion.
It bothers most humans of all labels whom mostly get handed their beliefs down from their parents, when you point out that our species is older than any city or nation and written language. It bothers them when you point out that other life in our evolution is far older. It bothers them that our planet, sun and solar system is far older. It bothers them when you point out the age of the universe. Most humans desperately want to see themselves as the center of the planet and universe and science is running away from the claim of a human centered cosmos.
It shouldn't bother them, but it does, because they simply don't understand that their false perceptions are merely a reflection of their own evolutionary drive to continue.
