Loved the part where he talks about how real ignorance is claiming to know all the answers. I'm sure that pissed off the creationists.

''There is a parable of Blind men and the elephant, one felt the side of the elephant and said it was a wall, the second felt the tip of a tusk and was convinced it was a spear, the third said it was a snake as he felt the trunk, the fourth had grabbed a paw and said it was a tree trunk, the fifth who felt an ear said it was a fan and the sixth who had the tail said it was like a rope. All started arguing about who had told the truth. While each knew a part of the image, none knew the whole. The moral of the story is that reality may be viewed differently depending upon one's perspective, and arguing about it is ridiculous since no human knows the entire truth.''

Fracking causing Oklahoma's earthquake resurgence?

A connection between the 2?

Gosh, I just don't know.
It's all so mysterious and confusing...
