The Meaning Of Life Is Pretty Clear:

We Need Them. We Need Scientifically Literate Voters And Taxpayers For The Future.

Evolution Is The Fundamental Idea In All Of Life Science, In All Of Biology. The Key To Our Being Here Now Is Time, 4.54 Billion (earth) Years Of Time. Nuclear Fission Wasn't Discovered Until Long After Charles Darwin And Alfred Russell Wallace Published Their Original Books And Papers, For Example. Our Ability To Measure Atomic Masses Wasn't Developed Until Long After Their Deaths. These Features Of Nature Enabled Us To Reckon The Age Of The Earth And Compare It With Speciation Rates Here.

Religion Is A Completely Different Thing From The Claim That The Earth Is Six Thousand Years Old. That's Just Crazy.

I Often Reflect On What An Extraordinary Time (pun Intended) It Is To Be Alive Here In The Beginning Of The Twenty-first Century. It Took Life Billions Of Years To Get To This Point. It Took Humans Thousands Of Years To Piece Together A Meaningful Understanding Of Our Cosmos, Our Planet And Ourselves. Think How Fortunate We Are To Know This Much. But Think Also Of All That's Yet To Be Discovered. Here's Hoping The Deep Answers To The Deep Questions-from The Nature Of Consciousness To The Origin Of Life-will Be Found In Not Too Much More Time.

There Are Two Questions That Get To Us All: Are We Alone In The Universe? And, Where Did We Come From? For Me, Science Provides A Much More Satisfactory Way To Seek Answers Than Does Any Religion I've Come Across. With That Said, The Universe Is Mysterious And Wonderful. It Fills Me With Reverence For Nature And Our Place Among The Stars; Our Place In Space.
