humans

Don't look directly into it. It could render your brain useless

I don’t know what horrifies me more.

A) Running into the idiots that answered this survey incorrectly (yes, incorrectly) and being forced to have a conversation with them or

B) If this report doesn’t horrify you, my faithful readers, more than the boogey man does.

Nearly a third of Texans believe humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time, and more than half disagree with the theory that humans developed from earlier species of animals, according to the University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.

That has to be the saddest thing about the progression of our species.  More so than greed, corruption and murder.  The fact that we get to live such a pampered life due to technology and on the backs of people that spent their lives dedicated to the advancement of technology so that we could live a little better, a little longer, and with a little more clarity and understanding of the world and universe around us, only to have half of us then “not believe” quite possibly the clearest scientific fact ever proven, is a travesty of the gravest degree.

For 1 out of 3 Texans to think that humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth together would be like 1 out of 3 Texans believing they could swim to the moon from the surface of the earth, on a river of Cool-Whip. 

For 1 out of 2 Texans to think that humans did not develop from earlier species would be like 1 out of 2 Texans believing that the movie Cars was a documentary.

Yes it IS the same thing.  Believe in God.  Believe in reincarnation.  Believe in killing yourselves and jumping on the back of comets.  But not accepting a scientific fact as simple as the age of the earth, is what makes your beliefs laughable.  

Can someone put the flag of “logic and science” at half mast.  It is a sad sad day.

If you’d like to learn something about science and facts, I highly recommend watching this.
