Why Nerds are Unpopular

1960) is not of my generation, but he knows and understands us well, and has written a short and frightening book, You Are Not a Gadget, which chimes with my own discomfort, while coming from a position of real knowledge and insight, both practical and philosophical.

If glaciers came to Arizona where I live, we wouldn't be growing thick fur and thick skin, we would be building more fireplaces and heating systems
29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: Part 2
It is therefore probable that Africa was formerly inhabited by extinct apes closely allied to the gorilla and chimpanzee; and as these two species are now man's nearest allies, it is somewhat more probable that our early progenitors lived on the African continent than elsewhere." (Darwin 1871, p. Prediction 2.6: Past biogeography Example 1: marsupials Example 2: horses Example 3: apes and humans Past biogeography, as recorded by the fossils that are found, must also conform to the standard phylogenetic tree

Evolution - Conservapedia
Ideas, either without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training. Why do they have to remind themselves of that? Because otherwise, the facts which are staring them in the face and trying to get their attention might break through
