I am not advocating a morality based on evolution.

You can't statistically explain improbable things like living creatures by saying that they must have been designed because you're still left to explain the designer, who must be, if anything, an even more statistically improbable and elegant thing.

Science is the disinterested search for the objective truth about the material world.

Luke [the gospel writer] screws up his dating by tactlessly mentioning events that historians are capable of independently checking. There was indeed a census under Governor Quirinius - a local census, not one decreed by Caesar Augustus for the Empire as a whole - but it happened too late in 6 AD, long after Herod's death.

But, however many ways there may be of being alive, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead, or rather not alive.

Any altruistic system is inherently unstable, because it is open to abuse by selfish individuals, ready to exploit it.
