In fact, common folk don't know much about anything. That's why their called common folk.

You're really on a roll, aren't you.

Now you've managed to insult the rest of humanity.

Outside of the law, judges are just common folk; outside of medicine, doctors are just common folk; outside of science, scientists are just common folk; outside of anyone's area of expertise, people are just common folk. Not everyone is good at everything. Everyone has areas in their lives that puts them at the common folk level.

Pretty close to the truth. But not quite. Some people know how to make use of the expertise of specialists. Others are just threatened by it.

For example.

Two of the modern era's greatest scientists were not athiests. Newton was a Christian. Einstein - while he didn't believe there was a bearded guy sitting on a throne in the sky watching carefully to make sure men kept their peckers in their pants - was quite upset when people tried to paint him as an athiest.

They were not unusual. Many of today's scientists are religious...and that includes specialists in Evolution. Why don't believers talk to them about how to best handle the challenges to belief instead of - hopelessly and foolishly - trying to deny the value of science?
