1. The Salem Hypothesis

I have been involved in engineering at various levels for 35 years, currently in design for the plastics industry. My view is that science discovers all the wild new stuff that engineers then find practical uses for. They in effect provide the tools that design engineers create with. This is what divides the two.
In my experience, engineers are a free thinking bunch and on the whole I would expect to find a much higher than average concentration of atheism in this profession. Cos we are dead clever!

2. Brain Injury Said to Affect Moral Choices

Damn. I have always thought that my atheist morals were superior to any religious morals, Mine being based on honesty and respect etc. and theirs based on the fear of what their god will do to them if they are not moral. Now it seems that I only have the morals of a believer.

The point that Roll made has been bothering me for some time. Surely natural selection will eventually weed out genetic "dead ends" like homosexuality, making this arguement redundant.
The explanations provided so far seem more like excuses, and have failed to hit the spot. More information please.
Thanks Roll, I have been reading these posts for ages. but have never been inspired to register until now.
