modest Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. -Pirsig (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) Turtle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sman Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Perhaps God did create all organisms, including human beings, in finished form, in one stroke, and maybe it all happened several thousand years ago. But if that is true, He also salted the earth with false evidence in such endless and exquisite detail, and so thoroughly from pole to pole, as to make us conclude first that life evolved, and second that the process took billions of years. ~Edward Owen Wilson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
