Tough. That means it is time for them to stop believing in fairy tales.

Stop acting like a hysterical TWAT, Martin ... evo is a dead-duck theory that's going down. How long can you tread water, Captain Evo? =P


It is pretty scary having the only world super power in the 21st century with half its population stuck in the superstitious dark ages and going backwards.

(from "The God Code"; Gregg Braden, Ch.3 - p.43 [start])
"Population statistics from the 2000 census are believed to be the most accurate in history, indicating that we share our world with approximately 6.2 billion of our kind. Of that number, nearly 95 percent, or 5.9 billion people, believe in the existence of a higher power or Supreme Being of some description."


Half of our population stuck in the "superstitious dark ages", heathen butt_wipe?? Your eyes/brain must be the result of Evo brainwashing.

"Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit that is vastly superior to that of man."

This isn't a new phenomena. Senator Simon Cameron (in 1901) said of the Smithsonian Institution "I am tired of all this thing called science here...We have spent millions on this sort of thing for the last few years, and it is time it should be stopped".

The above story always brings a tear to my eye, Martin. Hey, I got one for you also, scaredy-cat ...

"In /The Origin of the Species/, Darwin himself remarked on how unlikely it is that natural selection was solely responsible for the degree of specialization that we see in organs and tissues. Singling out the complexity of an eye as such an example, he stated, 'To suppose the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances ... could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.'"


It is time for science to fight fire with fire. Withdrawing some of the benefits of modern science from the anti-science brigade ought to work pretty quickly. Starting with any of anaesthetics, electricity or refined petroleum should be sufficient to make the point.

No need to go Postal, Martin. Science and modernity/West Culture is shaking up the whole world. If you're so frightened of *mythos*, better not read any astronomy books - they regale the reader with ancient mythology re: constellation names. Bears, hunters and princesses upside down - in sordid detail. Shock. Horror.

I think your meds need some evolving. Stop being a bag of poison, and check out some sunshine.
