In religion, faith is a virtue. In science, faith is a vice.

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.

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

The battle for evolution seems never-ending. And the battle is part of a wider war, a war between rationality and superstition.

If the history of science teaches us anything, it is that what conquers our ignorance is research, not giving up and attributing our ignorance to the miraculous work of a creator.

Theology is the post hoc rationalization of what you want to believe.

There is no horror, no amount of evil in the world, that a true believer can't rationalize as consistent with a loving God. It's the ultimate way of fooling yourself.
