It's that both militant atheists and religious fanatics think that they know it all, and their arguments and their discussions go on forever, and both sides usually stick to their guns. I'm humble enough to admit that I don't know it all, and I'm honest enough to admit that they don't, either.

'In 1956, Ireland’s Commission on Emigration, which had convened in 1948, stated that emigration had become “a part of the generally accepted pattern of life”. That did not make it any easier; consider, for example, John Healy’s book Death of an Irish Town (1968), when he wrote of the emigrant train leaving Mayo in the 1950s: “The Guard’s door slamming shut was the breaking point: like the first clatter of stones and sand on a coffin, it signalled the finality of the old life. The young girls clutched and clung and wept in a frenzy”. The Commission’s report also suggested that emigration weakened “national confidence and pride” but was also a conservative influence, as the scale of the exodus diluted the need for “drastic action”. In providing the remaining population “with a reasonably satisfying standard of living” emigration, the report argued, made people apathetic about domestic underdevelopment. It is estimated Irish emigrants in Britain sent the contemporary equivalent of €5.7 billion back to Irish families between 1940 and 1970.'

Europe is not a continent therefore its status must be revoked. Only "continent" which doesnt have its own plate. Solely conceit of Eurocentric scholars.
Hopefully future world generations will stop this BS and give it its real place which is a "geographical region" in Eurasia.
