Charles Darwin and Richard Dawkins add their two cents
"Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science."
- Charles Darwin
Amen to that! Reminds me of my run-in with a creationist who knew almost zip about
even basic science, but he KNEW what was right just the same. If only I had known to
give up debating him sooner than I did.
