This letter is associated with the following article:
Sociobiology founder Edward O. Wilson explains why we're hard-wired to form tribalistic religions, denies that "evolutionism" is a faith, and says that heaven, if it existed, would be hell.
  • gene, gene, the hair-splitting machine

    It's called the null hypothesis. You should know that already, with your degrees and university background and the one lecture you attended and now wear like a little merit badge.

    I'll wait for the proponents of heaven and hell and ghosts and goblins and magical gods and goddesses to prove they exist, since they're the ones shoving their dogma down my throat. Meanwhile, it doesn't make me "just like them" to note the fact that since no evidence whatsoever exists for that silly crap, then it is not true.

    Folks, if believing in magic makes anyone out there feel better, have at it. But that's no good reason to make it the law of the land...or to kill me for believing something else.
