...including an aphorism I stole from this forum!
Charles Curry's letter "Atheist vs. theist" makes the claim that atheism is a form of religion. As the old saying goes, if atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby.
Not only evolution, but all science seeks natural explanations for natural phenomenon. In that sense, it is exactly as "atheistic" as atomic theory and astronomy. Even the defendants' witnesses in the Dover trial admitted under oath that for "intelligent design" to be considered science, the definition of science would have to be rewritten.

I like that, "if atheism is a religion, then not collecting stamps is a hobby". I must have missed that here but it's a doozy!
