“It is absolutely safe to say that if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that)”

Richard Dawkins

Simplified Meaning:

If someone says they don't believe in evolution, it means they lack knowledge, don't understand science, or are ignoring the facts. Evolution is a well-supported explanation for how life changes over time, backed by a lot of scientific evidence. For example, just like how we know the Earth orbits the Sun because of proof from astronomy, we understand evolution by looking at fossils and patterns in genetics. Not believing in evolution is like ignoring all this clear evidence. Imagine you meet someone who insists the Earth is flat despite all the pictures from space and scientific data. It's clear this person either doesn't know the facts, can't understand them, or chooses to ignore them. In the same way, rejecting evolution shows a serious misunderstanding of basic biology. To avoid falling into this trap, it's important to stay curious, ask questions, and learn from reliable sources. This will help you make informed decisions and understand the world better.
