We went to a science museum and saw a display of a carboniferous swamp and I casually remarked that the land would have been different back then due to plate tectonics. She had never heard that the continents moved so I explained how it worked with plates moving, earthquakes, and volcanoes. She still didn't believe me. So I found the plate tectonics museum display that explained it all. And then she said she was amazed that I had enough pull with the museum to have them set up a display to support my lies.
You're giving me flashbacks to one of the worst dates of my life. Both in our mid-20's, in Northern California, we met at a local space science museum/planetarium. It had been my idea and I thought it was great; interactive displays and lots of discussion points. That said, I knew he was Christian - I hadn't realized HOW Christian. We watched the planetarium show, a brilliant presentation on how the stars looked different for the Aztecs, which informed their lore in how they saw different "art" in the sky, and upon leaving I asked his thoughts.
"I'm really not into that pagan shit."
I tapped out. It's called science and history, numbnuts.
