Myths are stories that express meaning, morality or motivation. Whether they are true or not is irrelevant.

In principle, skeptics are neither closed-minded nor cynical. We are curious but cautious.

Human history is highly nonlinear and unpredictable.

People believe in God because we are pattern-seeking, storytelling, mythmaking, religious, moral animals.

In science, if an idea is not falsifiable, it is not that it is wrong, it is that we cannot determine if it is wrong, and thus it is not even wrong.

We know evolution happened because innumerable bits of data from myriad fields of science conjoin to paint a rich portrait of life's pilgrimage.

In the past 10,000 years, humans have devised roughly 100,000 religions based on roughly 2,500 gods. So the only difference between myself and the believers is that I am skeptical of 2,500 gods whereas they are skeptical of 2,499 gods. We're only one God away from total agreement.
