    People deny history even when there are museums about it so I don’t think they were really doing anything

      When I was a kid, I loved dinosaurs. I rushed through the natural history museum to get to the dino bones because the other shit was boring. Then I had a roommate who was a young-earth creationist (believed the bible was literal history, earth was 5000 years old).

      I went through the museum the next year and stopped to read everything.

      This comment neither supports nor dispels your comment. It’s just something that I thought about when reading your comment. The shocking thing was that the guy was extremely intelligent. Shows what indoctrination does (we were both 18-19yo).
