Koan, > 20,000 years ago cannibilism was common, including human meat markets and women being raised for food. 10,000 years aos most countries were 30% slaves. That is how far eduation has brought us.

I have news for you. Education did not abolish cannibalism and slavery. Nor did science.

Equal rights for all humans have theological roots.

By the way, there was once a time when many "scientists" didn't believe in that. A lot of them worked for the Nazis. Thankfully that's no longer the case, but who knows what a godless future could bring?

>> I know exactly what it takes. A masters plus two years.

No graduate program I know of will admit a person of "average" intellect. If you have an IQ of 100 you aren't getting in any Masters program I've ever heard of and you sure as hell aren't getting in any PhD program. Given that roughly half of people have IQs of 100 or below, it is totally impossible for 95% to get PhDs, even if you GAVE them the financing to do it with.

As I said, you apparently have no idea what it takes.
