Well, looks like he was right; you don't like science. Would be nice if you could at least be consistent about it. "The earth was flat, there were monsters ready to devour you if you ventured there. These were the top reknown scientists of the time." Name ONE who said that.

Actually, I hate to tell you this, but this is a forum where people post opinions. I can say whatever I want and the Evolution Nazis aren't going to come take me away. Science has always been a mockery back from the early days when the sun revolved around the earth. I've lost my grammar school books about the earth being flat, prior to Columbus, plus I don't have to do your research for you. If you want to know who put that in our grammar school books, you look it up.

The fascinating thing about science is that it eventually corrects itself. Whatever is proven today is disproven tomorrow and then there's a new theory. It's a fascinating frontier whose horizon moves further out with each new discovery.

I won't apologize that I find in science more awe and wonder than you find a reason to start a stupid argument than even you don't understand.

Who said anything about you not being able to say what you want? This isn't even about evolution, as you hate science in general.

"Science has always been a mockery back from the early days when the sun revolved around the earth."

So as I said, you hate science. You are entitled. But I am also entitled to point it out.

"I've lost my grammar school books about the earth being flat, prior to Columbus, plus I don't have to do your research for you."

I'll save you the trouble. It's a myth. No educated person in Columbus' time thought the Earth was flat. It was known since the ancient Greeks that the Earth was round, and all of the maps of Columbus' time took that into account. There was never a controversy over whether the earth was round or flat, but the size of the Earth. Columbus thought the Earth was about 25% smaller than everybody else did. He was dead wrong. The only thing that saved his voyage was the unforeseen discovery of America. Otherwise, the ocean would have been far to vast for him to cross.

The myth was propagated by a few people in the late 19th century who were trying to show that there was a great *warfare* between science and religion, and "Look, see how stupid those religionists were!". It was total fabrication.

"I won't apologize that I find in science more awe and wonder than you find a reason to start a stupid argument than even you don't understand."

You don't find any awe in science, since you despise it. I understand perfectly what you are trying to say. You think science is a mockery. That's your right, and it's mine to point out you hate science.
