“I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.’ And god granted it.” -Voltaire “Science offers us an explanation of how complexity (the difficult) arose out of simplicity (the easy). The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain.” -Richard Dawkins Follow me on twitter - please. var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
