Things I Hate about Religion – Anti-Science – Part 9
Anti-Science Sometimes I’m just amazed at the lengths people will go to in order to protect their religious beliefs. In many cases, hard facts are staring people right in the face, and they will make up all kinds of excuses as to why the facts must be wrong. The sad part is, most of the [...]
