@Akfishlady Being male and growing up in the time before The Pill, the idea that it is the boy's fault for getting the young "innocent" girl pregnant left an indelible mark on me.
I love the one where the farmer's wife is carrying a basket of eggs into the house, and is eyeballing a chicken carrying the baby out of the house.

He has a point, you know.
@Blindbird
Not really.
@Blindbird
I suppose that postulates are unproven, but they’re also taken as obvious truths. That’s the crux of the matter. However, all operations from that point on are based upon pure logic and rigorously proven.
@Gatovicolo the same can be said of theology. Once you get past that first unfounded claim, its easy to set up a whole belief system 
.
@Blindbird
But there’s drastic difference between assuming an obvious truth and assuming the existence of god. Two parallel lines will never meet is an obvious truth. It needs no verification, provided you assume Euclidean space. However, when you think of it in terms of spherical geometry, then parallel can cross. These postulates change over time to recognize changing understanding. The assumptions that religion are based upon aren’t based upon the natural world. They’re based upon dogma generated through history.
I don't believe the door is big enough to post all the anti-scientific.
