Religion is based on dogma and belief, whereas science is based on doubt and questioning.

If you can't think of an observation that could disprove a theory, that theory simply isn't scientific.

Can a geology teacher blithely tell his students that the earth is flat, or a European history professor that the Holocaust didn't happen? That's not academic freedom, but dereliction of duty.

A well-understood and testable hypothesis like sexual selection surely trumps an untestable appeal to the inscrutable caprices of a creator.

We now have many of the answers that once eluded Darwin, thanks to two developments that he could not have imagined: continental drift and molecular taxonomy.

Religion is based on dogma and belief, whereas science is based on doubt and questioning.

Damn, but science is just a constant feed of cool new facts and theories. Theology doesn't come close.
