How many perfectly decent Christians have lived their lives and have gone to their graves in abject horror of perhaps, they at one time in the past, cussed out the holy ghost?
Order through fear? You are correct for once. For more than a thousand years Europe was hobbled by the pox that is Christianity. Science stopped under the church. The wheel, the rack and the pear took care of that. Not one rational though dare express its name. We would have internet connections five hundred years ago if not for the catholic church. Christianity is without question the biggest disaster in human history, and that it is still prevalent in the 21st century is a truly terrifying though.
With regard to the evolution debate: Homo sapiens are about to fail, we are not fit for the world we inhabit.

Two billion of us believe this. Nah fuckit. Fire the nukes and be done with it. Let those smug bastard dolphins have a go.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
