  I mean. I’d argue that the group that more frequently questions its positions and beliefs based on new evidence is a more reliable source for interpreting the world than the group that killed 40% of Germany when one assumption, regarding the authority of the bishop of Rome, was in dispute.

    Of course. The ironic point is that plenty of people believed the old versions of what research showed dinosaurs were until they died. Some in denial of new research, like the presence of feathers.

    Humans are dogmatic about more than just religion.

  Imagine believing in creationism and using dinosaurs, 35 of which are wandering around my farm right now, as the metric of God’s will.
