I find it pretty amusing that humans are so confident in what happened in the past billions of years and even where everything originated, yet we are unable to resolve basic problems within our own current world and societies. As said before, lots of ego with a lack of intellect is not a good combination.
Was talking about people who try scare others into believing by saying "if you believe and are wrong, no big deal but if you don't believe and are wrong, you burn in sulfur. Better buy the insurance.

That confidence is not absolute and can change with new facts and techniques. As to solving world problems, I'd say it is more of a problem because we have different agendas.
