What human institution puts a value on discarding the one thing that separates us from the rest of the mammals on earth? Religion and pseudoscience. Religion and pseudoscience demands that humanity discards our ability to reason to accept it's teachings.
If anyone thinks that religion has advanced civilization, think again! The operative word, "Think"! Has the world of pseudoscience, psychics, astrology and religion advanced civilization? Nope.
What human institution makes cars, buildings, ships and airplanes? What human institution advances medicine and surgery? Science.
I submit, we need to use our brains. What do the religious, the believers say? Don't use your brain, all it's takes is faith and belief. Which is better? Use your brain? Or don't use your brain?
Who are the crazy ones? The people who say to discard reason and don't think about it, just believe in religion? Or the people who say, critical thinking and using your brain are important.
The answer is: Use your brain.
When will civilization, en mass, begin to really move forward? When the masses, seeking for answers, begin to look for the natural and not the supernatural.
