I do admit my ideas require a belief in science.
But that is all I am posting, hopefully, science and I hope some logic (which is its own form of science)..
If people's myths contradict science and that bothers them, that is a delicate dilemma for everyone, and it is tough to resolve, but must be resolved, IMO.
I believe, and all the historical data confirms, that the more people embrace science and logic, the better off they are.
Burke and Ornstein, in their book The Axe Makers Gift make the point that when the Greeks invented a functional written language around 3,000 years ago, myths declined.
So the people who want to live by myths do have reason to be concerned.
