Quote | If I understand the Christian fundamentalist perspective at all, the presumption is that anything that fails to promote their religion, is actively engaged (by dint of that very failure) in disputing their religion. If you're not for us, you are against us.
No scientific theory ever has or ever can require anything supernatural. If something is observed, the mechanisms for which nobody has the slightest clue about, the best science can do is admit bone ignorance (and start investigating). If there ARE magical forces undetectable in principle, science must forever remain baffled. | And, don't you think that it would stand out? I mean, "yeah, there's this one thing. Over on Mt.Etna, the rocks roll uphill. We studied the heck out of it but nothing makes sense."
Quote | Most religions teach that a God built all of the stuff in the universe living and not living. Evolution teaches that a God did not build life on earth. If life on earth is taught as being the product of purposeless blind chance instead of emotion laden eternal purpose, then in essence evolution is implying that there is no afterlife. |

When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it
Look what it's done so far
