"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence"



"The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence... Science is simply common sense at its best — that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic."
~ Evolutionary scientist Thomas Henry Huxley (aka 'Darwin's Bulldog,' combined quote from one attributed to him, and from 'The Crayfish' [hat tip Michael Hurd, who unfortunately cited the wrong Huxley]

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
