    That kind of idiocy is really hard for me to wrap my mind around. It really is.

    It genuinely upsets me that people actually don't believe concepts that have been scientifically proven and actually lack the knowledge that it has been, when all I have is a high school diploma and some college credits and even I know this.

    It's not that difficult to educate yourself.

    Look up...do you really honestly think that you know everything that has happened throughout time out there to create what we know as our world today?

    It's even worse than that.

    They're as much saying, that given the alternatives between sources of information, they've decided that bronze age goat herders are smarter than Einstein, Darwin, Hawking, etc, etc.

    I think part of that is due to the dual meaning of the word "theory", as if evolution was some half cocked scheme created by a bunch of scientists instead of the result of over 100 years of scientific observation.
