There are a few ways to gain and support a believe. A good way is by following where the evidence takes you. Other ways, which are poor, unreliable, or just downright silly, are through tradition, authority, or revelation. Believing something just because your ancestors believed it might be useful for the developmentally-challenged or the lazy, as would be believing something just because someone told you to believe, or because someone sat and thought about something until a special feeling came over them. This is not the pathway to truth. This is why I can't understand what an evangelical Pentacostal follower is doing in a museum in the first place. Someone take a wrong turn?
New rule - you are free to enjoy your self-imposed idiocy and demonstrate just how little you know or care about science by saying things such as "only a theory", but when you get sick, you're not allowed to go to a hospital, a place that just oozes applied science. If you're really sick, go to your church. Let's stop interfering with evolution and let such people start demonstration a bit of continuity. For the sake of our species.
