Nah, let you science prove it.



Yeah, right. There is no proof. There's nothing to it beyond religious
belief and faith, just as there is nothing more than that underpinning
creationism.


No proof works for you. Works for me too. But in the eyes of believers
and the faithful, no proof is needed. The concept of a Supreme Being is
one of faith. We have no right or qualifications to question or be
critical of what others believe. It has no place in public schools as
a teaching ... I agree, but people have the right to believe what they
want. I capitalized "Supreme Being" not because I am religious but
out of respect for those who are.


Once again, I don't give a tinker's dam about peoples' religious
beliefs, so long as they aren't trying to shape or reshape our society
to conform to those beliefs. We certainly have the right and I think
obligation to push back when those religious beliefs are shoveled into
our path.
