There may be some deep questions about the cosmos that are forever beyond science. The mistake is to think they are therefore not beyond religion too.

You could give Aristotle a tutorial. And you could thrill him to the core of his being. Aristotle was an encyclopedic polymath, an all time intellect. Yet not only can you know more than him about the world, you also can have a deeper understanding of how everything works. Such is the privilege of living after Newton, Darwin, Einstein, Planck, Watson, Crick and their colleagues.

Atheism is not a religion. Abstinence is not a sex position.

Evolution has no long-term goal. There is no long-distance target, no final perfection to serve as a criterion for selection, although human vanity cherishes the absurd notion that our species is the final goal of evolution.

Science offers us an explanation of how complexity (the difficult) arose out of simplicity (the easy). The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain. It postulates the difficult to explain, and leaves it at that.

Atheists are the new gays; in the closet and pretty much disqualified from public office.

To an honest judge, the alleged convergence between religion and science is a shallow, empty, hollow, spin-doctored sham.
