The country is dotted with 'big things', it's kind of our thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia's_big_things Everything down under is big.

"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."

That's not true. A lot of great things have come out of Australia. I mean, Vienna was the music capital of Europe. Mozart, Beethoven and so many great composers lived there. Not to mention psychologists like Freud. And it was a big empire for so long. And then there's the setting for The Sound of Music... [/American understanding of geography outside of North America]

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
