1. There is no woo woo so damn stupid
That nobody will believe it is the deepest wisdom of the universe.

If anybody argues, explain Scientology. Intellectually that's less ridiculous than denying evolution, but most people will accept it is ridiculous without getting pissy, so it's a better example.

2. This part gave me hope:
The vast majority of Americans (93%) believe that zombie movies are awesome.

5. Just to say,
Darwin's theory of evolution isn't something you 'believe in' in the same sense as you believe in the devil, hell, and angels.
