What could be more useful than beating back the borders of ignorance?

Beating back one's own borders of ignorance first?

You asked a rhetorical question, and I answered it rhetorically. So no offense intended.

None taken. It's a very good answer, actually. Personally, the development of life on earth is something that's always interested me, and so I resolved to remedy the fact that I knew next to nothing about it. Having found a pretty compelling approximation of the truth, I find that I am less ignorant on the subject than I was before.
