Psalm 137:9
RE: Psalm 137:9
Yeah,

I attended a Richard Dawkins Christmas lecture when I was 13.

I thought he was dumbing it down even then. And it spurred me on to learn more.

I tend to forget to provide the link and its pretty ridiculous because the authors would have no problem with me using their words to make my case. If went on Quora, I would not need to worry about this.

Well here's something for you to worry about!


Humility!

Quote:I have determined, after extensive surveying, tabulation, and data analysis, that the average creationist in the U.S. earns $21,387.29 in family income; owns 1.2 cars, 1.8 TVs, and 2.3 kids; and has, at some point in his life, answered to the name "Bubba". He has less than one year of college. Yet he knows more about paleontology than Bakker or Horner or Currie (or he thinks that what they know is wrong--same thing). He knows more about the definition of evolution than Gould or Dawkins. He knows more about biology than Dobzhansky or Mayr. He knows more about cosmology than Hawking, Smoot, or Witten, and more about human fossils than Johanson or the Leakeys. He knows more "true" geology than geologists, more physics than physicists, more astronomy than astronomers--and more about everything than atheists like Asimov or Sagan. Humble, they're not.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
