I could not believe when I saw this commercial. This CHANTIX commercial starts with a tortoise and a rabbit in a hypothetical race to be nicotine free. This is a pill that will help you quit smoking cigarettes by blocking nicotine receptors in your brain. As the commercial developed it showed about a minute long warning about side effects. Among many side effects such as nausea and vivid unusual/strange dreams, they emphasized the suicidal thoughts that have been reported with this pill. It makes you think that you are better off smoking than taking a pill and risk killing yourself.
I can’t comprehend how they would even spend the money to advertise such a pill. Why not spend the money in refining the pill to be bit less suicidal?! I encourage you to see this commercial and see for yourself. I hope you are not a smoker and if you are I hope you are like the rabbit in this commercial, just chilling while watching the tortoise struggle. (buajaja) Or you can always go cold turkey.
They state a statistic that states:
And as the classic fable has taught us, a steady approach may
be the wisest approach. In fact, studies show that 44% reached their
quitting goal at the end of 12 weeks on
CHANTIX (vs. 18% on sugar pill).
LOL If you don’t kill yourself first.

Do you believe in Evolution?
Do you believe in Evolution? Or are you are Creationist?
Science has shown evidence that evolution occurred but there has been much controversy among many believers. Even with evidence, part of their faith is tested by disproving Adam and Eve.
You would be surprised how many people are confused about the Evolution Theory. Not knowing that a theory in scientific terms takes another meaning.
Should we let them dwell in ignorance?
Karl Marx stated, that “religion is the opium of the people”.
Can we change this?
"Also, the dedicated pursuit of scientific knowledge deserves our respect, and we should never be close-minded or dismissive of scientific claims if ever they seem to threaten our understanding of God's revelation to us." (Bishop Raymundo Pena)
With some guidance I think we might.
