Atheism Is Not A Religion. Abstinence Is Not A Sex Position.

Religion Is The Most Inflammatory Enemy-labelling Device In History.

'take Offense At The Drop Of A Hat' Is The Unwritten Eleventh Commandment.

Only A Tiny Fraction Of Corpses Fossilize, And We Are Lucky To Have As Many Intermediate Fossils As We Do. We Could Easily Have Had No Fossils At All, And Still The Evidence For Evolution From Other Sources, Such As Molecular Genetics And Geographical Distribution, Would Be Overwhelmingly Strong. On The Other Hand, Evolution Makes The Strong Prediction That If A Single Fossil Turned Up In The Wrong Geological Stratum, The Theory Would Be Blown Out Of The Water.

Offense Is What People Take When They Can't Take Argument.
