Imagine that you're Moses, being inspired by god to write these books, and you find out (1)that you will wind up pissing off god, (2)you will pay for it by never reaching the promise land and (3)almost exactly WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.

"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."
