If you've come here to learn, then ask yourself this question:
Why would a loving, compassionate, forgiving god create a world full of creatures whose most important task in life is to eat other animals so they can grow strong and raise more babies that can eat other animals and raise babies of their own? When you look at the natural world, you see no evidence for mercy, compassion, or forgiveness. The made up morality of man and the real morality of that exists in nature couldn't be more different.

"I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the scriptures, but with experiments, demonstrations, and observations".

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
