I'm not saying that evolution isn't real.
I am however saying there are plenty of theories that have plenty of evidence against them that aren't even being given a second look.
You can't always "scramble for the new theory" because you don't have the training in that... and you don't know it.
I also never said an Anarcist society couldn't exist. I believe it could exist. I even stated that wasn't my intent. Though I do think there were a few cases where religion actually managed to be the "only thing" that saved the worlds ass from being set back some in a couple cases.
Also, I think you really are underestimating the intellegence of people of the past. It's something people do a LOT even a large number of Archalelogists....
because like most other scientists... archaelogists NEVER want to admit when they're wrong. They kick, scream and yell at the new guys who make discoveries that were wrong, saying that the technology was way too underdeveloped to make that battery or whatever, and it must of been a pot or something!
Until kicking and screaming they are dragged foward and proven wrong.
Scientists are no less stubborn then people of religion.
As for there being more uneducated religious people... well duh. It's the common place. You have to actually try to identify yourself as not an atheist.
Though, most people are "secret Atheists" i'd say.
You've probably heard the phrase "Their are no atheists in a fox hole."
An equally apt phrase would probably be "Their are no religious people when things are fine."
Well not equally so... but i imagine most people who call themselves of a religion, actually know very little about it.
You and I have different opinions. You think most people raised without religion would be atheists.
I believe most would likely choose a religion. But they'd actually know stuff about it. Unlike now.
