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.

We don't have faith in reason; we use reason because, unlike revelation, it produces results and understanding. Even discussing why we should use reason employs reason!

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.

Evolution tells us where we came from, not where we can go.

It takes a profound hypocrisy to try to reconcile for others things that you can't reconcile for yourself.

You can find religions without creationism, but you never find creationism without religion.
