Human History Is Highly Nonlinear And Unpredictable.

We Think Of Our Eyes As Video Cameras And Our Brains As Blank Tapes To Be Filled With Sensory Inputs.

I Am An Atheist. There, I Said It. Are You Happy, All You Atheists Out There Who Have Remonstrated With Me For Adopting The Agnostic Moniker? If "atheist" Means Someone Who Does Not Believe In God, Then An Atheist Is What I Am. But I Detest All Such Labels. Call Me What You Like - Humanist, Secular Humanist, Agnostic, Nonbeliever, Nontheist, Freethinker, Heretic, Or Even Bright. I Prefer Skeptic.

Being A Skeptic Just Means Being Rational And Empirical: Thinking And Seeing Before Believing.

Myths Are About The Human Struggle To Deal With The Great Passages Of Time And Life--birth, Death, Marriage, The Transitions From Childhood To Adulthood To Old Age. They Meet A Need In The Psychological Or Spiritual Nature Of Humans That Has Absolutely Nothing To Do With Science. To Try To Turn A Myth Into A Science, Or A Science Into A Myth, Is An Insult To Myths, An Insult To Religion, And An Insult To Science. In Attempting To Do This, Creationists Have Missed The Significance, Meaning, And Sublime Nature Of Myths. They Took A Beautiful Story Of Creation And Re-creation And Ruined It.

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.
