Evolution skeptics will soon be silenced by science: Richard Leakey
by cantleave incan you see the jw's changing their stance?.
http://richarddawkins.net/articles/646060-evolution-skeptics-will-soon-be-silenced-by-science-richard-leakey.
richard leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history.. not that the avowed atheist has any doubts himself.. sometime in the next 15 to 30 years, scientific discoveries will have accelerated to the point that "even the skeptics can accept it," the kenyan-born paleoanthropologist said.. "if you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it's solid, that we are all african, that colour is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive, then i think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges.".

John_Mann - "confusion" is probably too strong a word for my current state of mind regarding the origins of the universe. It's simply not something I choose to think about in too much detail, although I am re-reading a book on the subject as we speak. Here's one very simple way of explaining my current "on the fence" approach... Even scientists agree that it is almost uncanny how all of the nuclear forces and gravity etc are so finely calibrated as to allow life to flourish, and molecules/stars to form etc. The only explanation that can be offered to explain how we just so happen to be living in a universe where all of these things are "just right" (i.e. a "goldilocks universe") is that there are many universes (as part of a multiverse), and we happen to live in the one universe that lends itself to our existence. I'm not saying that this ISN'T the right explanation, because we have no way of knowing. However, it seems to me that the idea of a multiverse is no more or less plausible than the idea of some intelligence being behind the formation of our universe. We simply have no way of knowing, because scientists can only figure out with any degree of certainty what happened milliseconds AFTER the big bang, and not what happened before. In the absence of any final word on the matter, I would rather remain "on the fence" so to speak, in a mild but not intolerable state of 'confusion' until evidence emerges either way that explains everything, even if this never happens in my lifetime. There's certainly no rush for me to embrace either an atheist or theist point of view, so it really makes no difference. I do have a hunch that the universe had an intelligent beginning, but it's only a hunch, and not something I would force down someone else's throat.
Cedars, do you know about the sentient puddle fallacy?
Nothing makes me think in an intelligent beginning to the universe or an universal super manager. But I have a hunch too about non human intelligence through the universe, perhaps we just are a kind of experiment of them.

That story it's surronded by strange things! Even for a myth!
More crazy stuff:
- Mary itself was born without sin (probably without sex too).
- The "seed" was "planted" in the Mary's womb through her ears.
- Mary remains virgin after Jesus birth b/c she deliver him through her ears too! That's why in the middle ages the women used to wear some kind of headphone.
Jesus was born as a kind of marsupial worm! LOL
