I’ve got a theory about gravity, not just a theory, an explanation for how gravity works. I can tell you, dear reader, exactly why bodies of mass are drawn together. My theory is clear, simple and above all correct. I know this because I have proven it. The proof is all around, as clear as sky. Allow me to explain… (more…)
It is not my intention in this post to convince ‘non-believers’ that evolution is the explanation for the diversity of life on earth, nor to threaten any different beliefs that you may hold. Lets put all that aside for a bit and talk about the logic of evolution. That is to say, lets talk about evolution as a process in it’s own right, distinct from the biology (aside from a few illustrating examples) and independent of the fossil and biochemical evidence that supports it.
Why do this you may ask? Well, I’ve come to realise that there is little point attempting to get anyone to abandon their belief system for the sake of (what appears to them to be) a minor intellectualist point. And anyway, I don’t want to be that guy. If your god makes you happy, and your not hurting anyone, I’ve got no issue there. I can, however, appeal to every bit of human reason and logic that you have to demonstrate to you that belief in evolution is not ‘the same’ as belief in divine creation. Evolution is a rational, logical process, not a superstition.
So, here goes…
A while back comedian Ariane Sherine, wrote an article asking atheists to donate money for an atheist ad campaign to respond to a recent christian campaign promising hellfire to nonbeleivers. Well it looks like she’s got the £11′000 she was after and more, so these adverts will be rolling out across London some time soon.
Now, I don’t live in London. In fact most people don’t live in London. So I, and most other non-London types, won’t ever see this campaign, which is a shame…
Wait one cotton picking, nose flicking, lolly licking minute! Why not print your own stickers, and slap them on every lamp post/ post box / hobo around!
You might want to print it on to a tee shirt, hat or cravat.
