. . . modern and ancient skepticism are still superficial.

** stereotypical images, or why is Darwin shown aged with flowing beard? **

Saints of science; icons of the state.

Old Darwin, like fossil Newton before him, has long since been venerated by the British Establishment and the Scientific Establishment ever since his death in 1882. The remains of both men lie within shouting distance of one another in Westminster Abbey.

Darwin’s bust with its prophet’s beard appears on the back of the ten pound note, a childish image of God in the clouds

Magical thinking and supernaturalism still thrive, hidden away in stereotypically xian ideation taking charge over otherwise religion-free minds.

The de-deification of western culture (including all the sciences) is our task for the next five hundred years.

Dear Abbas,

If the universe has always existed, then according to the laws of thermodynamics there should not be regions of heat and regions of cold in the universe. There are regions of heat and regions of cold in the universe. Therefore, the universe has not always existed.

Dear Chase,
In that case, why couldn’t the Universe have always existed. For that matter, is it not logical to assume that time is a concept that originated with the universe and therefore the universe HAS always existed?

Hello Amr,

I just posted a comment on this topic of who created God. As I said before if God created the universe he would be a sufficient cause. To ask who created God would then lead to the question of who created God’s creator and so on and so forth which would go on forever leading to an infinite regress. An infinite regress is illogical, and God can still remain a sufficient cause for the origin of the universe, although I understand the difficulty in believing that a being has just always existed. But hey, its possible.
