I call it the "Aractus Creed".
Aractus Wrote:We believe in the prophet, our apostolic father, Charles Darwin;
Creator of wonder, evolutionary biology, and wonder;
We follow the teachings of the great holy book “Origin of Species”;
We follow the guidance of his disciplinary descendant, Richard Dawkins;
Towards truth, wisdom, discovery, and wonder;
Even though sometimes he can be a giant douche;
We believe in his ways of inductive reasoning and the holy scientific method;
We believe in his teachings written down in the academic journals of Science, Nature, and the Journal of Theoretical Biology;
We believe in the pursuit of Power, Wealth, Wisdom, Knowledge, Happiness, Health, Development, Advancement, and Progress;
We acknowledge the inspired work of secularists;
We strive each day to understand their teaching;
We believe that the Christian god isn’t really real;
And that when we die we don’t go anywhere we just rot in the ground.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
