Fear the Kick arse
The only thing the rest of the world need fear is a US where the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the government believe that Armageddon is inevitable and a good thing.
Oh, and a Great Power slipping into a Dark Age and pulling a Samson.

Re: Final Part
Remember, if you send a real letter, print. Today's politicians can't read cursive.

we know how it did not start.
We know how it did not start, and eliminates covers EVERY religious creation tale.

Re: we know how it did not start.
Many many lines of evidence.
For example we know that the Bible has two different and mutually exclusive accounts and so one or both must be wrong.
We also know that every other religion also has multiple mutually exclusive accounts and so they too must be wrong.
Finally, we have evidence of natural causes but no one has ever presented any evidence of any unnatural or supernatural causes.
Therefore, until someone presents some evidence of an unnatural or supernatural cause, all such assertions should be rejected as science.

Re: we know how it did not start.
Lack of evidence can most certainly be evidence. If you claim to have shot and hit the target yet there is no hole, then the lack of a hole most certainly is evidence.
In addition I made a claim that there was evidence, that the religious fables are mutually exclusive and that in fact Christianity has at least two mutually exclusive creation fables.
I also pointed out that there is evidence of natural causes. If and when comparable evidence for unnatural or supernatural causes is presented, then and ONLY then is there anything to teach in a science class.

Re: we know how it did not start.
I just stated that since the origin of life is unknown, that no one hypothesis is any better than the other.
Bullshit. There is evidence that supports certain models and no evidence that supports other models.
Not all Some hypotheses are equal; some are better than others.
Edited by jar, : fix syntax and wording

Re: we know how it did not start.
you are more cryptic than I am, I know better than to ask you for evidence (cause you aint got none).
Yet I already gave you examples. There is evidence of natural causes and so far no one has ever presented any evidence of either unnatural or supernatural causes.
