   I bet their curriculum is centered around the Bible.

   Young children and old people with Alzheimer’s just believe what comes naturally, the creationist story — but the rest of us have no excuse for not thinking better.

   From the article:

   (I)f you look at the data from psychology and education, what you find is either no correlation between accepting evolution and understanding it or very, very small correlation between those two factors, and I think that’s surprising to a lot of people and in particular to educators and scientists.

   Well, that’s depressing. :(

   As for the rest of us having no excuse for not thinking better? There’s always: I just don’t want to believe that we “came from monkeys.” It’s just unseemly, you know :#

   Does it buttress the case for evolution to note current human DE-volution?

   I wonder if we’ll go back to being monkeys! How cool would THAT be?!

   Let’s be bonobos; the females rule. ;-)

   What We Don’t Know About Bonobos:
   “Stuck together, bored out of their minds—what is there to do except eat and have sex?”

   “bored out of their minds”

   Even better, I wouldn’t have to change the name of my blog :)

    LMAO! — from now on every time I see it, I’ll read BMTT as “Eat and Have Sex”!

    Although maybe you should consider actually changing it, because BOTM has its own um, nether-charm . . .

    BMTT has always reminded me of the BLT, my favorite sandwich!

    I guess Meg will have to explain BOTM to me, because I don’t know what it means – LOL.

    When I google it, the number one result is BOTM, which appeals to me, too :P Others I found are: BOTM Bud of the Month; BOTM Best of the Midwest; BOTM Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd.; BOTM Brotherhood of The Mercenary.

    It must be extra-secret naughty to not make the first page ;)

    Heck, I was just saying it out loud — bottom

    btw,

    JJ: “(F)rom now on every time I see it, I’ll read BMTT as “Eat and Have Sex”!”

    Well, it’s a step up from “horse smegma” :D

    I too read “bottom” and thought of something else entirely.

    After my recent posts about oh-em-gee and if-you-seek-amy, my brain stopped working that way :)
