Faith is a padlock of the mind, and few keys can open it.

Come on, readers, give me one example of a question that religion has answered to everyone's satisfaction - one example of a "truth" found in religion's quest for truth.

All scientific progress requires a climate of strong skepticism.

These mysteries about how we evolved should not distract us from the indisputable fact that we did evolve.

Now, science cannot completely exclude the possibility of supernatural explanation. It is possible though very unlikely that our whole world is controlled by elves. But supernatural explanations like these are simply never needed; we manage to understand the natural world just fine using reason and materialism.

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

Some believers are fundamentalists about everything, but every believer is a fundamentalist about something.
