I saw something on the news the other day where they were talking about some black and white couple who had a white child with blue eyes and blonde hair and they were all going crazy because "IT SHOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE, BECAUSE BROWN EYES ARE THE DOMINANT TRAIT"

> evolution = abiogenesis = random chance = unscientific = controversial amongst scientists = "just a theory"

1/3 = 0.333

(1/3)/3 = 1/9 = 0.111

0.111 = 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001
10 * (0.111) = 10(0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001)
= 1 + 0.1 + 0.01

10(1/9) = 10/9 = 9/9 + 1/9
= 1 + 0.111
= 1 + 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001

1 + 0.1 + 0.001 = 1 + 0.1 + 0.01 + 0.001
1 = 1 + 0.001
0 = 0.001
0 = 1
1 = 2
1 > 9000

Gravity is caused by magnets.

I was once trying to explain evolution to a Christfag friend of mine. He still didn't accept it as anything more than some wild fantasy. When I asked why he said he only believes in things "that he can see."

time is just the movement of the sun or of a clock.
Time is a made up factor to compare movent
if you say my car drive 50 mp/h or 50 km/h you actualy just say the car moves 50 miles (or km) while the earth rotates about 1/24
in other words time does not exist.
The univers is movement(energy) and matter

Bill Nye is a real scientist.

[Anonymous No.2777612]

I used to have the mindset of "if the majority think it, it must be wrong". I decided anything I ever heard in school must be wrong.

I denied evolution, I denied the existence of the atom, I denied climate change, I dread to think what else I denied.

These denials were based on hearing there was "evidence" against these topics, for some reason I considered the ramblings of ill-educated people to be the best source of information.

I was a damn fool and probably still am.

I'll post some more harder mis-conceptions that only intelligent people will understand the flaws in:

1. Quantum computers will mean unbreakable cryptography!
2. You cannot find a test to prove a number is prime!
3. 3 angles in a triangle add up to make 180 degrees!
4. Quantum mechanics proves "classical physics" and Einstein's "beautiful" science vision wrong!

4 statements of stupidity. Pick and choose.
