All religions were invented by people who were making stuff up. Why are so many people unable to understand this obvious fact?
"Because a lot of people fear death when it is uncertain what happens "after" -- so they need the thumb-sucking, security blanket comfort they get from a cult belief, like Christianity, so they can get through life without falling apart. Cult believers have notoriously low self-esteem."
-- Jeff
"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
