That kind of "maybe to you" gets under my skin as well, as if the results gained through the scientific method hold equal weight with any random uneducated opinion.  People can get like that with evolution as well.  They say things like, "You have your beliefs, and I have mine."  Sorry, that's not how it works.

Agreed. And with the all the possibilities from seismic activity to solar flares, polar reversal and devastating meteor strikes, the doomsdayers will claim any scientifically explainable event and assign it to god. Go figure.

Maybe wsll be lucky and all the stupid people will take the easy way out- and do another mass suicide. ala "Heavens's Gate" and take those stupid genes out of the pool- we can hope... Sorry for their families if they do- but rid the world of these fevered ego's that taint the world is not a bad thing- see ya- Remember Y2K and the 1000's of other end of the world cults- see ya

@Flower every decade a new apocalypse &/or the return of jesus, & when things like japan happen which is terrible they say the end is near, umm it isn't it just means natural forces are a bitch, not wrath of "gods" but by plate tectonics ..

It seems to me that all arguments that are not based on the scientific evidence are “stupid”.  Many people who base their beliefs on faith appear “stupid” to anyone who bases their belief on evidence.  I know college professors who follow the Catholic faith and believe that molestation by the priests was only isolated problems.  Are they “stupid”?   The catholic professors are wrong because they refuse to follow the evidence.  Well they have their PHD. 

I have no PHD and only believe what the evidence shows.  Unlike Will Rodgers I don’t “know” what the newspapers tell me, I believe what is the consensus of the scientists who work in the various fields and base their findings on the evidence.  Is this faith?  Maybe, but it is faith that the objective evidence that we can know is true.    Like those who refuse to believe that global warming is a problem, the believers in end times in 2012 simply refuse to confront the evidence.

having an education doesn't always mean one is intelligent, for example Bush went to Harvard yet, well you know the rest..
