Can god be killed?
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
It's already been done. Charles Darwin killed the ridiculous Magic-Man fantasy when he published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859.
Darwin killed God.

Somebody else wrote this. I'm adding it to my list of favorite quotes.
"You can kill any god quite easily. You stop worshiping it. You stop believing it's real. You stop giving that god any sort of anything. The gods are invented. Until we get something that says they're not, the gods are not real."

Another person wrote this:
"Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense."
-- Everard

A young woman wrote this:
"God can be killed through education and common sense. Gods throughout time have been killed by such. As long as ignorance exists and common sense does not, God will exist."
-- Princess
"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
