Social Conscience & Rational Thinking
God myths have survived because smart people are very good at rationalizing things that they came to believe for non smart reasons

A uranium mine is okay because the earth is 6,000 years old and hasn’t been done away with yet. What about Noah’s flood?
The Arizona senator should visit some sites in her state, like the Grand Canyon, it starts with a rock layer that is 230 million years old and goes down to a 2 billion year old layer.
Ironically, scientists use the radioactive decay rate of uranium to help determine that the earth is billions of years old.
Another proud moment for Republicans and Mormons…

What an embarrassment. This is in AZ??? Is it just me or is it weird she felt totally comfortable saying the earth was 6000 years old in what looked like a public meeting? And she even looked to someone else on whatever panel she was on to confirm it! LOL. If this lady was my representative I’d seriously be looking for new leadership.
