Thanks for saying the uncomfortable things that need to be said.

The invoking of Thales to trace science back to pre-Christian Greek thought is a smart rhetorical move because it directly challenges the idea that modern science is some kind of recent conspiracy. The tension between accepting Big Bang cosmology while rejecting evolution shows how selective people get when beliefs conflict with empirical reality. I've seen this pattern in alot of political circles where noticing patterns becomes an excuse to reject entire fields rather than just being more critical of who interprets the data.

Candice Owen's is right wing? She is 'agnostic' on flat or round earth, and thinks science is a cult. https://youtu.be/-hao1KscQeU?t=41 (the last bit is after this bit after a minute of the talking head). oh, and thanks for allowing this cheapskate (poor boy) to comment this time without paying subscription.

You consider Jews a semitic people and yet dna science tells us they are nonsemitic Turkic Europeans. Khazar converts to a form of rabbinic Judaism. Just saying 👍🏾
