    Evolutionary research HAS been a massive benefit to the human population. Virtually all medical research requires evolutionary biology to some extent.

      Does he believe the inventions that allowed modern medicine and telecommunications were all inspired purely by God? (who only seems to ‘inspire’ religiously ambivalent scientists and researchers)

        I think it’s mostly a western thing that researchers and scientists are assumed to be ambivalent about religion.

        Allegedly, eastern cultures regard advancements in those fields, as in fact, inspiration from their god(s).

        Thats just what I hear. I’ve never left the western hemisphere, so I can’t say for certain.

          Christian anti-science mentality is mostly an American (specifically Evangelical) thing. Non Americans don’t seem as fussed about science being in conflict with their faith.

    I have been to the Ark. It’s weird.

    They have some interesting exhibits where it’s obvious that someone gave it a lot of thought. They dug in and thought about the tools and techniques that someone would have had available to build something like this 5000 years ago.

    In some ways, it’s a real monument to human achievement. But then the next exhibit just shrieks that there were definitely dinosaurs on the Ark and if you believe differently you’re dumb as shit.

    2/10. Food was awful.
