One World for All Humans

The best evidence we have is that life began on Earth about 4 billion years ago. Plant species evolved by natural selection for over 3 billion years, but there were no animals for those billions of years. The first evidence we have of animal life occurred about 600 million years ago, during the Cambrian explosion.… Continue Reading

Layers of Probability

We have, so far in 2009, discussed the common myths of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the additional myths which each of these religions uses to seek unique status, and the common base from which all religions stem.
