All the same folks this is not a laughing matter. We live in an age when only a few really understand the technology we all take for granted and some consider their God given right.
The world is full of charlatans and Carl is dead correct to rail against them.
I rail against the darkness of ignorance. As only a decent education can protect you from despots that will use the primitive component of your fears to attempt to control you by engendering fear of others or the fear of the unknown.
Science by its very nature is counterintuitive. It does not pass the logical test of an informed layman. These facts are well known by the con merchants. They will use the standard cons of setting up a straw man and then killing him with so the called logic of connectedness of 'facts' that are barely relevant to each other. They no more have 'the answers' than my little toe.
I would even go so far to say that even what I am saying should be looked at critically as I could be conning you all as well.
Again I say your only defence is knowledge that can filter the gold from the dross by a critical mind.
As a little aside Marci bacteria do rule the world. Something like 70% of your body weight is water. Of the remaining 30% dry weight more than a third is bacteria that enable you to survive. So where do we begin and end?
