Absolutist morality doesn't have to come from religion but usually does.

I think nobody would claim that random genetic drift is capable of producing adaptation, that is to say the illusion of design. Random genetic drift can't produce wings that are good at flying, or eyes that are good at seeing, or legs that are good at running. But random genetic drift probably is very important in driving evolution at the molecular genetic level.

You can never be absolutely certain that anything doesn't exist. But you can show that it's unlikely.

I don't think God is an explanation at all. It's simply redescribing the problem.

We accept that people are irrational for good Darwinian reasons. But I don't think we should be so pessimistic as to think that therefore we're forever condemned to be irrational.

Religions do make claims about the universe--the same kinds of claims that scientists make, except they're usually false.

If something is true, no amount of wishful thinking will change it.
