I'm thinking that Israel is a bit warmer in the Winter than a lot of other places, but I get what you're saying

Reply to TIL that among the thousands of fans who were in attendance for the Beatles iconic Shea Stadium Concert were Linda Eastman and Barbara Bach. Linda would later marry Paul McCartney in 1969, and Barbara would go on to marry Ringo Starr in 1981. by FranklinDRoosevelt32

Ringo and Barbara met on the set of the movie Caveman and got married the next year... 10 year old me was a big Lana fan back in the day

Reply to comment by EndoExo in TIL a German scientist named Alfred Wegener was ridiculed in 1912 for advancing the idea that the continents were adrift. Ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” or “Germanic pseudo-science” and accused Wegener of toying with the evidence to spin himself into “a state of auto-intoxication." by Hot----------Dog

Science generally has the ability to accept indisputable evidence and realize that "Holy shit, they really were right and we were wrong." Where religions in general have proven incapable of doing so over and over throughout history.
