        @BurhanULhaq @neiltyson don't worry, evolution necessarily involves 'blind alley' mutations.

        @TheHornGuy catholics were open minded about evolution and science for the last century. Protestants are still fundamentalists.

        @juampix84 Considering all the scientific discoveries that the Vatican has buried over the centuries, that's a bit surprising to me.

        @neiltyson Compared to what politicians say today, this is an accurate representation of the decline in politics, education, & common sense.

        @neiltyson Not US politicians, just Republicans. Calling out "politicians" or "Washington" instead of Republicans is part of the problem.
