Stupidiest Anti Science Statement I Have Encountered

The implied question is, "Which came first, a chicken or a chicken egg?"(May 20, 2017 at 7:02 am)mh.brewer Wrote: And here I thought it was going to be the "which came first" question. Silly me. It's a horrible attempt at a "Gotcha!" 
One of my relatives uses Mary as proof that he doesn't need to wear a condom.
The egg question is beyond stupid. By analogy, water is essential for human life. Too little, and you will die. Despite being essential, too much and you will also die.
Eggs contain nutrients essential to human life. Yes they have a fair amount of fat, but fat is necessary - in moderation. This is true of all foods containing fats. The question, as asked, lacks sufficient nuance and is IMHO incoherent. There's just some people who prefer easy, binary answers. 
There are 2 kinds of people, those who prefer easy binary answers and those whom don't . . .
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I realize you're joking, but I bet pretty much everyone likes easy binary answers to at least some questions. ("Is there botulotoxin in my latte?" or "Is the person at the door here to kill me?")

"There are 10 kinds people, those who understand binary and those who don't." You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
