"Any man who can look at the immense complexity and underlying order of the universe and deny the existence of God is an arrogant fool."

Astounding intelligence in this comment!!!

It is mans language that makes 'rules' for what is considered order, and applies those rules, and then decideds if those 'rules' are complex.

Things just are, language to explain this is the complex part. For all we know there may be an alien race that has encompassed these same rules in a language that explains them in a simplicity that a garden snail could understand.

To fill the unknown knowledge gap with superstition and religious supposition is truely mans greatest folly.

Quotes of Note:

"The War Prayer: "O Lord our God, help us to tear their bodies to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded.""

Mark Twain

"There are, however, exceptions to this reliance on feelings as evidence of truth: if, for instance, your feelings lead to disbelief instead of belief, they're apt to be dismissed as some form of denial. This is not a common problem. Usually intellectualism, not "feeling reality," is blamed for disbelief. But, some angel experts suggest, there may be emotional as well as intellectual barriers to belief: unwillingness to believe in angels can reflect low self-esteem."

Wendy Kaminer

"Certainly I see the scientific view of the world as incompatible with religion, but that is not what is interesting about it. It is also incompatible with magic, but that also is not worth stressing. What is interesting about the scientific world view is that it is true, inspiring, remarkable and that it unites a whole lot of phenomena under a single heading."

Richard Dawkins

"Secularists are often wrongly accused of trying to purge religious ideals from public discourse. We simply want to deny them public sponsorship."

Wendy Kaminer

"The habit of religion is oppressive, an easy way out of thought."

Peter Ustinov
