Creationism is a religious concept. Whether it’s Christianity driving them or some other religion, it’s a religion or religions that’s providing the motive; there is no non-religious creationism. And if it was just ignorance there’d just be indifference, not an active campaign against evolution. Also the ignorance in question appears to be exactly the kind of artificial, targeted ignorance that the creationists seek to create by propaganda and by distorting the education system in order to create a viable audience for their delusions.
Whoah.
What happens if you clip your nails and leave one lying around until it gets dark? Do ghosts only eat fresh nail clippings or something?
u worried bro?
Honestly it’s not even the oddest Korean superstition I’ve heard of. My mom used to tell me that if I whistled at night, snakes would fall from the ceiling.
Terrified. My nails and hair grow very quickly so I have to clip them a lot. Maybe the ghosts only eat Korean peoples’ nails.
…snakes from the ceiling?
If you clip your snakes after midnight, ghosts will drop from your ceiling.
What’s so hard to understand?
Don’t forget the colonization and the war. Things were pretty bad in korea until the 1960’s and didn’t really get good until the 1980’s.
What days are unlucky and is it OK to let their son’s get married on those days or are there unlucky days for sons to get married?
A roommate explained it to me once. It had to do with ghosts taking your nail clippings, it sounded a bit like voodoo. I’m not sure he was entirely clear on his own superstituous belief but he was compulsive about getting every last bit of nail clipping and flushing it down the toilet. On the bright side, if I ran across some nail clippings opn the sofa I knew they were mine.
You can kill all the snakes by keeping the windows closed and an electric fan running.

Yeah, wtf is the deal with that. He would turn off all the window mounted air conditioners before he went to sleep at night.
Unlucky days vary with your horoscope. In general even numbers are unlucky and odd numbers are lucky. Son or daughter, doesn’t matter.
