No, actually those were my strongest subjects.
I had to explain to my 4th grade teacher how

nuclear fission worked.


Oh brother!

I have also studied the intricacies of our planet
and its ecosystem.


Self taught based on nothing more than personal thought you mistakenly
refer as empirical observation isn't a valid method.

It is far too complex to have evolved totally

randomly.

(That's an argument used by primitive civilations to explain things
which they do not understand. If you want to be a part of an enlightened
society, the first thing you need to learn is that complexity does not
require divine providence. But if that concept is beyond your level of
comprehension you can always take up astrology, voodoo, crystal ball
gazing..... or even republican economics.)



The ancients sacrificed each other to the "Gods" of the sky when they
were angry (thunder, heavy storms)...same goes for the Gods of the sea,
the four winds, etc. St. Elmo's Fire was attributed to the Gods by the
old salts and still is in superstitious circles of the old time
fishermen...
