Thats Right, Religion exists because people only hear what they want to hear and ignore the rest. They then prove their belief right by doing the same with "science" to say it was possible for the things mentioned in the bible to be more than just stories about fictional characters doing bad things with very faulty logic as a shield against common sense :-)

A new study has shown that reading this comment triggers people to press it's "like" button.

Actually, I love this video! I hope that somehow good people somewhere will incorporate honestly accurate theories from the ancient Jewish texts with modern observations.

I believe that Nature revealed long ago how to solve our problems, as the isolated bacteria illustrate:

If we viewed Scripture more like a document written by Einstein's relatives - and it was - and viewed the stories more like his analogies written to explain the nuanced workings of the laws of nature, perhaps, we'd get it far more often than most Gentiles (us poor fools, it seems) often do. And, perhaps, we should drop these words like God, etc. We're not talking about Thor dancing in the sky with a lightning bolt in his hand, but, rather, the invisible, unchanging One Who runs everything ("Mother Nature," see Proverbs 8). -

John Oliver - a pseudo-intellectual, parasitic communist Jew.

Science is very easy, this idea of scientists being geniuses is a big ass myth. I was studying Economics and I struggled like shit, so I switched to Mech-engineering and this subject much easier to understand.

John Oliver, thank you for willing Trump into the Whitehouse
Ps I'll pay for global warming when you stop lying -

So what you're saying is that if the average person wants to conduct a study of scientific worth, the bar to clear is really low.
