The pictures and videos below do not show us anything that science caused 50 
years ago. It is ignorance of science that caused all of those things. Those 
who ignore science are making the same mistake today by falsely perpetuating 
the belief that cancers caused by something else in their neighborhood are 
caused by a cell phone tower. If someone is really concerned about 4 or 5 
people suffering from cancer in their neighborhood he should persuade the 16 - 
20 neighbors of his to give up smoking because science tells us that anybody 
who smokes more than 5 cigarettes a day has a 25% chance of getting cancer. 

Someone who is scientifically ignorant would not also know that every 
neighborhood that has more than 13 people above the age of 70 would have on an 
average 4 or 5 people suffering from cancer. Scientifically literate person on 
the other hand would know this fact and that the exact reason for it is that 
the lifetime risk for any person to get cancer is 40% (43% for men and 37% for 
women).

One of the biggest problems we face in the world today is that even educated 
people are scientifically illiterate, and believe in all kinds of crackpot 
conspiracy theories.

Cheers,

Santosh
