...okay, I'd like at least a cursory explanation of the arithmetic thing.LCGeek said:I used to think religion after being exposed to some of dirty secrets on a local and regional level. Now I see it as arithmetic and how it governs the basic thought of most who work in science. Proving this however is not task I'm up to the job for nor want to walk the path of. Only other thing I might place at that level of a great lie would be culture and history itself.

I think what he is trying to say is that a person who creates a religion is a liar.JGS said:Still don't get how this fits in the thread.

And that's exactly what happened when you were demodded. Still, I agree with you that religion and the existence of god is certainly a falsehood that has been perpetuated for a long time. I'm not certain that it was a big, single lie though. And I wouldn't have put it quite in the terms you used.Amir0x said:If I am believing in bullshit, I want people to go to my face - not just on the internet - and tell me "dude, that's bullshit." .

I was pretty pleased when a new study let salt off the hook for causing any increase in mortality just a month after the USDA cast it as Villain #1 in its new Food Plate campaign.teh_pwn said:Animal products, which have been a staple of mankind during it's evolution, are incompatible with human biology and cause heart disease and cancer. There is no evidence for this at all. It's like a religion held by health nuts.
There's a lot of tangents to this, like the original lipid hypothesis of "fat causes heart disease" has been systematically changed each time a type of fat is redeemed. Saturated has yet to be redeemed because people are too ignorant to look at the conflicting data which invalidates the hypothesis. There is no wiggle room in science.
Considering that vaccines are generally pretty expensive produce and not very profitable compared to other products, I would think it's the latter.Trunchisholm said:"Give me another chance, baby. Everything will be different this time. I'm a changed man."
Also, the H1N1 vaccine situation and the whole influenza scare. I don't know who's to blame for that, but it was either some elaborate lie to profit from producing a shitload of vaccines or some one of the biggest honest mistakes ever:

This is what immediately came to my mind as soon as I read the title, and I'm glad people are posting it despite the OP's disclaimer. I truly cannot think of any other single lie that has damaged the world so severely.

A few people have said that now, I starting to think that's a pretty good contender.Wotan131 said:"All men are born equal". Cause it's simply not true, just something French Revolutionaries liked to repeat.
