There is no reason, a priori, why gentlemen don't prefer bald women with hairy ears and enormous feet. Henry Gee, The Accidental Species © 2017 Kwiple.com
Creationism The fundamental difference between religion and science is that the former is all about the celebration of certainty, whereas the latter is all about the quantification of doubt. Creationists understand this instinctively. What they cannot afford to see happen is that people start wondering about their place in the universe, and asking whether the certainties in which they have been raised might not be so certain after all.
