“Don’t swim after you eat!”
“We have 5 senses.”
And apparently there are many, many more misconceptions.
Most of what we know about the world is either what we’ve experienced ourselves and what others have told us, and this list proves that point very well.
Take notice of the size of each circle as you read through this infographic, as the size of the circle determines the virulence of an idea in Google hits:
The fact that this anti-myth infographic promotes evolution as being true, does put it in question, much of the information and myth dispelling is valid.
Did you un-learn anything new?

There were several where I started asking, “how do they know that?” But I got to dinos and humans did not co-exist and evolution is not a theory and then I stopped reading. Hope this was not really in a church magazine article. Quite sad if a church article is going against Scripture.

No, I don’t believe it was in a ‘church magazine’ article. Like I said in the post, “the fact that this anti-myth infographic promotes evolution as being true, does put it in question…” Some of these de-myth info is interesting and true, but there are certainly some bits in there that are clearly skewed. 🙂
