"I look at the geological record as a history of the world imperfectly kept, and written in a changing dialect; of this history we possess the last volume alone, relating to only one or two countries. Of this volume, only here and there a short chapter has been preserved; and of each page, only here and there, a few lines." -Charles Darwin

Without wishing to feed the trolls, I am going to have to agree with dmab on a couple of issues.

Yes, atheists do wish to abolish faith. So.....? Mind you, given most Hitler was a christian I think it is a pretty telling indictment of religion.

And yes, 'science cannot explain nothing'. (but given that is a double negative.....)

Mandas i am an athiest and i have no desire to abolish anything, if people want to believe in a fictitious diety then go ahead just dont bother me with it.

All this reminds me of a joke, "what did the Agnostic, Dyslexic, Insomniac ask himself at 3 am.....drum roll........"Is there a Dog?"
