God's palace in the sky
actually, there'd still be a place for god. the afterlife. who else runs that place, provides for it but God? (even Jesus needed a god so that he could go to heaven).

wait a minute everybody--there's no need for evolutionism. why?
we already have ontological naturalism, which explicity denies God, and puts natural procedures as the cause for everything. This is the philosophy the creationists or whoever it is who fears the removal of God from the picture should be fighting. At best, evolutionism (as robin defines it) is but a subset of this overarching philosophy.

wow--um, dude, eastern religions aren't as vague as you make them out to be. They just have a different focus as to what's important in life. Tell me how the eightfold path is vague. Tell me how mu is vague. I can't wait for archer to read your post.
