Science can answer every single question in the world.

the great thing about science is that it can give you more than one answer.

When Dad was teaching me to brush my teeth and I asked him why do we do it, he said little animals come along at night and go to the toilet in my mouth, so it needs cleaning!


My dad is a twisted man.

What did you used to believe that was stupid when you were younger?

Mine were:

That politicians were honest
That the Government would always act in the best interests of the electorate

Then I grew up and realised that human nature is human nature. We are a destructive species.

That when someone asked how you were you actually thought they were interested to know how you were. Any other answer than 'fine thanks' just isn't important to them.

I used to think that you could burn a pool of lighter fluid in the palm of your hand and only the fluid would burn......

I used to also think that 30 was old.

The existence of a Christian god.

Not putting blind faith in science to answer questions outside of it's remit is not 'no longer believing in science', it's understanding the limitations of science. A completely different thing that seems beyond a great many people due to a combination of lack of education and religious style faith in the method.

I agree.

Science always has trouble with deliberately unfalsifiable made up crap.

Reminds me of a scene in AVP:R when a women says "The government doesn't lie to people"

The whole cinema burst out laughing

I used the think people couldn't see me if I couldn't see them which meant I could have my head behind the sofa & the rest of my body sticking out but still thought nobody could see me. + +

I used to believe science was a true or false situation.

Half way through my degree, I wish it were that black and white

Funnily enough, I was just about to create a thread called 'childhood misconceptions'. So I'll answer here:

- I thought the highest number was 99. When unrolling out a tape measure and counted to 99 on it, I had to ask Mum what 100 was.

- I thought that a day had 12 hours.

- I thought that you were able to draw a door on a wall or a trapdoor on the floor and expected it to open. Like you saw in cartoons.

- I thought that O and D were the same letter.

- Various cartoons I thought were real e.g. Inspector Gadget.

I used to believe in the tooth fairy, Easter bunny, Santa Claus, Christian myths like the existence of a God and whatnot, heaven and hell, various other fairy tails like that.

Oh, and that Tony Blair had courage of conviction

That the Royal Mail was not staffed by useless ***** and they were able to deliver a special delivery item, guaranteed, before 1300 and then if for some reason that time was missed, and they promised it'd be delivered before the end of that day it would be here.

Aye I know, I'm a gullible tard.
