In general, a man with religion is better than an atheist.

RE: In general, a man with religion is better than an atheist.
Talk Origins maintains some useful archives on evolution and the so-called "Flood" and probably others.

Oddly, the evolution section contains a complete text of Darwin's Origin of Species and that contains this line in Chapter 14.

Quote:Authors of the highest eminence seem to be fully satisfied with the view that each species has been independently created. To my mind it accords better with what we know of the laws impressed on matter by the Creator, that the production and extinction of the past and present inhabitants of the world should have been due to secondary causes, like those determining the birth and death of the individual.

Even an intellect like Darwin's couldn't shake itself loose from fairy tales.

Of course, the problem is to get them to actually read it. They prefer fairy tales.
