There Are Two Questions That Get To Us All: Are We Alone In The Universe? And, Where Did We Come From? For Me, Science Provides A Much More Satisfactory Way To Seek Answers Than Does Any Religion I've Come Across. With That Said, The Universe Is Mysterious And Wonderful. It Fills Me With Reverence For Nature And Our Place Among The Stars; Our Place In Space.

I Don't Perceive An Anti-religious Agenda, Especially With Regard To Christians And Christianity. The Issue Being Debated Was Creationism, The Idea That The Earth Is 6,000 Years Old. As I Understand It, This Involves The Bible's Old Testament Exclusively.

Some Of The Most Wonderful Aspects And Consequences Of Evolution Have Been Discovered Only Recently. This Is In Stark Contrast To Creationism, Which Offers A Static View Of The World, One That Cannot Be Challenged Or Tested With Reason. And Because It Cannot Make Predictions, It Cannot Lead To New Discoveries, New Medicines, Or New Ways To Feed All Of Us.

I'll Admit That The Discovery Of Evolution Is Humbling, But It Is Also Empowering. It Transforms Our Relationship To The Life Around Us. Instead Of Being Outsiders Watching The Natural World Go By, We Are Insiders. We Are Part Of The Process; We Are The Exquisite Result Of Billions Of Years Of Natural Research And Development.

For Me, The Meaning Of Life Is Pretty Clear: Living Things Strive To Pass Their Genes Into The Future.
