    If I were ever abducted by aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where people also deny science.

        @exjon Kind of an academic question, but does @neiltyson hold others' intelligence in greater or less esteem than does Gruber? @Millerita

        @DrewMTips @neiltyson What if the aliens showed how some of what's considered settled science was wrong? You admit that's possible, right?
