1. God not out of the question for most Canadians

In highschool, Toronto, Canada. I've had teachers openly mock Creation Science and Christianity. I think mock is too harsh a word.

However, my teacher claimed that Creation Science was completely ad-hoc. Another claimed that Christianity was just a while to go before it goes the way of all other mythology. (just to give you a feel)

I personally think that there is no problem with some sort of deism. The biggest opponent of intelligent design in the Dover trial, Kenneth Miller is one. I know he's a Roman Catholic but if I'm using Dawkins definitions of each characteristic, I think Miller falls under Deist. It's okay if most think this way. However, I just think that most Canadians have simply just not thought it through. Neither would I if it was not for Dawkins.

2. Won't anyone stand up for God?

I particularly dislike these types of articles. How finnicky are their positions! I'm tempted to call this the Al Sharpton approach. They concede all of religions ills and falsehoods; They ask the most complicated questions this universe has to offer; They do none of the real research of their own; and they don't show any of their own convictions.

I think people don't understand atheism.
