How did this dumb-assery even begin? Does anyone know? I mean who woke up one day, decided they knew better than generations of scientific research and discovery, and proceeded to start infecting others?
It's like the dumbest thing ever, especially when it's so easily provable.
It seems to be a human thing for a certain percentage of us to neglect scientific knowledge and believe in something completely random, far-fetched and borderline bizarre. We had that with deities thousands of years ago and now it's being replaced with flat earth, computer gnomes, tiny sugar balls or perhaps at some point bitcoin. A man can still dream.
