Why does God need any intermediate steps?

Oh boy, terminology! Yeah, I dunno either. If you're trying to make creationists look silly it won't help if it makes the rest of us look silly too...

It's not just a better car, it's an infinitely perfect car.

Stop me if I'm doing it wrong - do angels count as 'life' in the classical sense?

Pluto was not downgraded so much as the word 'planet' given an operational and classifying definition. Before that, planet was just 'whatever everyone says a planet is'; now planet has a very specific definition, and by the criteria everyone would consider a planet by, either Pluto had to go or...

Okay, here's an interesting thought I just had; We know that we can study gravity without knowing where the source of gravity (stuff like the higgs boson and gravitons) comes from. We can study Earth without knowing what created Earth, or the big bang without knowing what came before it. If...

The theory of electromagnetism is also amoral; those who believe in electromagnetism cannot glean any morality from it. Similarly, those who believe in morality cannot glean any knowledge about electromagnetism from it. Social behavior in regards to 'doing the right thing' arises from a case of...
