There is an argument I hear a lot from delusional idiots like Ray Comfort and his ilk. They make the point that even a kindergartener can plainly see that evolution is false and "God" is real. I often get puzzled by why they use this argument... are they really suggesting that we should base all of scientific fact on the cognitive capacity of a 6-year-old? The thing is it's not even rare or confined to denial of evolution. The insipid food blogger, Vani Hari, AKA "Food Babe" -- someone who ranks among the most dangerously stupid people in the country (which is quite an achievement in a world in which Louie Gohmert exists) -- once put out a little sound bite that "if a 3rd grader can't pronounce it, don't eat it." Her adversary, Yvette d'Entremont, who uses the tongue-in-cheek name of "Science Babe", was quite quick to respond with her own sound bite: "don't base your diet on the pronunciation skills of an 8-year-old."
To those of us who have functioning brain cells, it would seem more than a little bit silly to ever think that decisions about something as complex and nuanced as personal health should be so cut and dry as "all chemicals are dangerous"... or that quantum mechanics "proves" the existence of the afterlife, when life itself is so ill-defined... or that climate change is clearly false because there's snow in your driveway. It's so obvious that god is real because evolution isn't obvious! Isn't that obvious?
It's obvious to me that your search for the obvious only obviates obliviousness.
