You should read The Greatest Show On Earth by Richard Dawkins. I encourage everyone on either side of the fence to read it.

Dawkins is a poet, and he distorts the meaning of genes for his own edification. I hope he is remembered for introducing "meme" which is a great word, but not in the way he meant it.
Not that scientists should avoid being political or poetic; but I don't think his works are best for understanding evolution, he adds too much of his own protein to it.
Instead of Darwinism you get Dawkinism

That's a beautiful story. I loved the certainty part.

Some years ago, this forum 'evolved' into the Bare Assertion Forum. This bypasses the pesky need to support one's statements.

The important thing is zero evidence against such an idea exists.
That doesn't say much given that there is also zero evidence against the existence of the Tooth Fairy.

Really? I will wager $10 that my usage is correct. Possessive rule and all that.
If you are going to make a correction, be damned sure else you might come off with egg on your face.

I would have bet more, but you would renege. How did I get owned? You made a flat and false assertion like you frequently do.

At most you had to invite somewon to one.
Or at least you didn't have to ban someone to win.
