If they have on this thread please by all means quote them..."God did it" is as much an answer to the perponderance of life as "god" is the answer to X^2+2x+4 (where you must solve for X).
Science says "I dont' know the answer to that question, but if I fiddle around with the numbers, I could solve for X using a few techniques but that will require some research."
Religion says "god" is eternal. He created X^2, x+2, and 4 in his infinate wisdom. The number 1 died for the sins of the other numbers precisely so that the problems could be answered without God's intervention so that everyone may find their own answer in god. We can never truely know what X is, but if you put your faith into it, you can find the answer to be god."
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
