"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

There is an imaginary magical heaven for cowardly morons, and there is a real heaven for everyone else (the planet Earth).
Another spectacular sunrise (red and blue) in Northwestern Illinois and I can see the moon (waning crescent, 9% of full).
The Earth is a wonderful place and it has the advantage of being real.
