Quote:The reason I don't like it is that I don't understand the notion that everyone's opinion is valid
Of course not. It was once popular to beleive the sun was a god. It was also widely popular to believe that the sun rotated around the earth.
Here is the rub though. Unless you want to take the dark side of evolution and become a dictator yourself, you have to refrain from treating others the way you wouldn't want to be treated if they found what you claimed to be absurd.
Claims are not equal, but our common human condition is regardless of our beefs or the irrational claims others make. The goal of evolution isn't about fact finding. It's only goal is getting to the point of reproduction. Sugar pills worked quite well for the Ancient Egyptians for 3,000 years. I am not a fan of sugar pills. But I am moreso not a fan of taboos or banning questioning or dissent.
You cannot rid the world of dissagreement. You cannot rid the world of emotions or even irrational claims. You can argue, ridicule and even blaspheme the absurd. But you cannot make clones of 7 billion people to suit your own predilections.
The only rational thing anyone can do is make an argument and even bitch with the agreement that bitching does not negate the fact we all want food and shelter and love and a means to survive. So the solution is far more simplistic than most humans realize.
