Exactly one-half of the population of America has an IQ of 100 or less. And, even if the majority believe in space aliens and ghosts...should we let those who are uneducated and unqualified dictate the course of science?


Actually the IQ mean in the US has declined and the mean is now only 99. That means that over 50% of the population is now under a 100 IQ. There position is that opinion is of a higher order than fact, proof, or science.

Dr. Crick won a Noble Prize and he believed in space aliens. In fact, he "theorized" that life on Earth came from aliens via rocket ships...Directed Panspermia.

What were Darwin's education and qualifications and did not he dictate the course of science?
