I was a YEC before going to university. I studied geology. After two years, I accepted that evolution happened. After four years, I was an atheist. I went on to get a doctorate, and I have published quite a few papers about rocks that are >2 billion years old.

As a kid, there were literally 0 authority figures in my life that accepted that evolution happened. It was taken as a given that it was ridiculous. My biology teacher skipped the chapter on evolution, saying, “this is controversial.”

Patience, love, and making critical information available gives kids like I was a chance.

The Water of Life features in lots of fairy tales. Is that what is being referred to? Is Water of Death another name for an alcohol?

I just think it's funny that it goes from "terrible heads," "fierce looking," "beast head," "dog teeth," "two dog-like teeth," to... "With breasts." Really a dramatically different category.

Have you seen the FMWC?

Yes, because "family values" means anti gay and anti abortion.

The documentary "The Family" offers the explanation that Russia has a strong traditional family values contingent that appeals to the right-wing idealogy.
