  • I don’t believe the same but it would be mighty arrogant of me to claim my believe in we ended here out of randomness is any more convincing.

    You know you can just say “I don’t know.” It’s not one or the other. How about don’t believe either until we have compelling evidence explaining the origin of life?

    That said, science already has far more compelling evidence on its side than religion regarding this topic. Which, as a reminder, has all of 0 evidence supporting it.

    Evidence of genetics? Let’s see… DNA testing works? That enough for you? I know people who bred flies in school while learning genetics.

    Or how about this, I understand how science works, so I’m comfortable accepting (in general), the scientific consensus on subjects that I don’t know very well. I really hate this, “did you get a PhD in x? No? Then how can you really know?” Bullshit.

    Just an FYI, I didn’t read your comment past the first sentence and I have no intention of continuing this conversation.














  • Capitalism and hyper-silo’d higher education.

    I was able to attend school for a year or two before knowing for sure what I wanted to do, and because of that, I was able to take a number of courses that were unrelated to the (pretty narrowly specific) major I ended up choosing.

    Because of this, I’ve found that I have a far more well-rounded education than the overwhelming majority of my colleagues. They are very intelligent people, but they’ve been so focused on one specific area of expertise for so long, that they seem completely naive to things like politics.

    The more intelligent ones are smart enough to realize they’re not experts in everything. Others, however, have deluded themselves into believing that they are experts in everything. And it’s fucking frustrating.
