The answer is, of course, over there.
DNA replicated because of chemistry. That is a fact. If you want to understand how, you need to learn chemistry.

LOL - so true.

I'm not convinced that religious people understand the world less. They are a whole bunch of stupid, but so are the rest of us.
I think there is good evidence that religiosity correlates inversely to science education - therefore it is highly likely that religious people do, on average, understand the world less.
In this forum, the correlation are very strong and evident. I suspect that this forum does not reflect general numbers.

The fact is, in which I saw huge humor was that apathist said we're all a bunch of stupid - that meant stupid whether or not you believed in God, no God, FSM, evolution etc.

The irony is, when we do finally have more of the answers and shaken off our collective stupidity, we'll all probably be wiped out by a rogue asteroid.
