“Religion cries out for a biological explanation. It is a ubiquitous phenomenon—arguably one of the species markers of Homo sapiens—but a puzzling one. It has none of the obvious benefits of that other marker of humanity, language. Nevertheless, it consumes huge amounts of resources.”

Willem Bowles wrote:

“For the last twenty years or so, I have been involved in either debunking propaganda or conversely writing it, I’ll make no bones about it. I believe in right and wrong, justice and injustice. I believe I’m an honest person (deluded maybe), that’s why I couldn’t rationalise writing bullshit for a living (and maybe why I’m broke). Yet tens of thousands of otherwise (no doubt) decent people do it every day. They write the bullshit and then go home to their families and socialise (no doubt) with others of their kind who also write bullshit for a living. Okay, so it’s literate bullshit, sometimes even verging on the literary but it’s still bullshit.”

When people asked Buddha, “Does God exist?”

Buddha remained silent.

Ozone is a pale blue gas at standard temperature and pressure. It forms a dark blue liquid below −112 °C and a dark blue solid below −193 °C. Satellite instruments monitor the ozone layer, and we use their data to create the images that depict the amount of ozone. The blue and purple colors are where there is the least ozone, and the greens, yellows, and reds are where there is more ozone. (wikipedia entry)
