    … In the latter times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. (1 Timothy 4:1-2)

    For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth, and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

    i will turn your condemnations into helpful facts:

    yunno how they say searing foods keeps in the jiuces? alton brown says that is an urban legend and all it really does it cook the item with a tasty semi-carbonized crust.

    yunno how you are not supposed to stick q-tips in your ears? thats true, but you can stick them in dog's ears because their ear canal bends around a corner so you cant stab the eardrum directly with the q-tip.

    Apparently, there's a large misconception about people saying that we 'came from' monkeys. From what I understand, we had a common ancestor, and split off at some point. There is actually a pretty overwhelming case that humans were, at one point, amphibious mammals. The two biggest pieces of evidence to that I remember are the aerodynamic orientation of our body hair, and the shape our body makes in a prone position (looks a lot like a fish turned sideways).
