I think there are questions that > are unanswerable by science I'm not saying it's isn't conceivable, or believable, that there would be religion. Just that I thought there wouldn't be. Actually, that I *hoped* there wouldn't be, because religion makes the world a worse place. Religion is a bad source of answers for moral questions. By relating things to outside absolutes, it loses any sanity-check on the results. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
