Things don’t ‘morph suddenly’ into a completely different body structure. They change over millions of years in order to adapt to a changing environment. I would go into more detail, but it is obvious you are so well educated on evolution in the first place.

Superstition, like four-leaf clovers=luck, is bull***** and I agree with you on this point.

It is unfortunate that society listens to the sort of person you describe here, however, this scenario could easily be applied to religious belief.

I agree, however, I like to think more positively and believe that humans can change their lifestyles for the benefit of the planet.

People ridicule the Bible mainly because it is taken so seriously by adults. Fairy tales are just ‘tips’ on how to live your life but the Bible is an instruction manual. The Bible and other Holy Books preach good morals but there is very evidently a risk of misinterpretation and it also causes a divide between people of different opinions.

There is perfectly rational reasoning behind the search for extra-terrestrial life. Life on Earth has evolved from a chance creation of a cell from primordial soup, so it is not beyond the imagination of scientists to believe they could exist on planets similar to Earth. However, no rational scientist will tell you they know for certain there is life out there – That is why the SETI continues with all sorts of radio telescopes and orbiting telescopes. There is no widespread physical search for a deity that I know of – he is (conveniently) outside of our own plane of existence, as a priest explained to me once.

I for one do not claim it is impossible for life to have been created – you are describing the more militant branch of atheism. However, there is no proof that God exists as of yet, but enough evidence for what most rational people believe in to be true or at least probable. I think religion tries to fit the evidence to the theory, and science changes the theory to the evidence. You can tell me which one is more logical.
