It's Important to Remember

That you can disagree with someone on principle, but that doesn't invalidate their belief. I think we owe it to each other to understand why others feel the way they do rather than calling an idea "stupid" or attacking someone's character because they don't share the same views as ours.

It's great, big, wide, old world out there kiddos. Retreating to our own established comfort zone only makes it smaller. You don't have to believe the same thing as someone else, but certainly taking the time to understand their ideas and how they came to their beliefs will get you a lot a farther than denouncing something that you don't take the time to comprehend.

Besides, it's all theory anyway, until the aliens arrive and show us that we've been using the decimal point the wrong way all these years.
