What you call open mindedness is really an attempt by the religious elite (to turn your phrase back on you) to close the debate about the origins of life and silence any theory that doesn’t agree with the creation myth.
The only people trying to silence anything are the elites on your side.
“...an attempt by the religious elite... to close the debate about the origins of life and silence...”
What an ignorant, unenlightened statement.
LOL. you expose your small minded-ness and lack of intellect.
