I felt a bit guilty ripping in on her, but my wife insists women are more mature, so I figure this chick is old enough not to sweat it. There's a chance she won't be back, I suppose. This being her one chance to test her faith before being married off to her great uncle in Bumfuck, Egypt. My congratulations to the happy groom...and also his future children's mother.

You guys are willing to believe anything the scientist says, even if its reallllly ridiculous e.g we popped out of nowhere suddenly for no reason This is awesome. The person who believes in a being that she admits cannot be detected thinks people who trust in a method of learning based on understanding the things we can detect are gullible.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
