Random Quote
(Complete listing)The Christian Bible is a drug store. It's contents have remained the same but the medical practice continues. For 1,800 years these changes were slight—scarcely noticeable… The dull and ignorant physician day and night, and all the days and all the nights, drenched his patient with vast and hideous doses of the most repulsive drugs to be found in the store's stock… He kept him religion sick for eighteen centuries, and allowed him not a well day during all that time.
["Mark Twain and the Three R's, by Maxwell Geismar, p.107]

It's times like this that I am thankful I am not a biologist.

"IF" there were a God/Creator, could we call "Him/Her/It" a loving God if he has duped all of you scientist into spending your entire earthly lives minutely examining His/Her/It's Creation, while you not even receiving a comforting Cosmic pat on your collective heads in acknowledgment for doing all this labor for free while the non-scientist diddle their lives in cushy comfort while pondering the results of your free labor, without even acknowledging said labor, only because the results of your labor verify the existence of their Creator?
I therefore propose: "Take a Scientist to Church Week" as a grand thank you to all scientist for your continuing free labor of which each new "discovery" only make us nonscientist gush (and blush) at the ever more intelligence of our grand designer -- God.
Shalom,
