My four year old grandson, seemingly out of the blue, began explaining to his father the difference between hypothesis and theory. Yet there are countless numbers of adults who don't have a clue.
I'm pretty sure that the most intellectual thing I did at that age was to eat dirt.

@edgarblythe,
Yes, indeed . . . witness how many times we get some yob around here who says: "It's just a theory." Gravity is "just a theory." One wonders if they have the strength of conviction to step off the top of a 20 story building.
I don't have a heart that doesn't pump blood. I do have compassion, though. I use it when I'm engaged with people, but not when I'm engaging bad ideas.
In the ventricles, you can see actual heart strings. If somebody ever starts tugging on mine, I'm going to have bigger things to worry about than whether or not there is an invisible guy in the sky running things.

I bet if you had one of those things, cut out like that, you could play music by blowing into it.
