Now that science can explain just about everything we see in our every day life, and discovered so many absolutely amazing things, why do people still cling to beliefs that are thousands of years old that are so blatantly and obviously wrong? Is it really a testament to mankind's stupidity, or is it something else?
its a character shortcoming as far as im concerned. idk, maybe they need some philosophical belief that they are special or something.
