Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

If we as members of the human race practice meditation, we can transcend our fear, despair, and forgetfulness. Meditation is not an escape. It is the courage to look at reality with mindfulness and concentration. Thich Nhat Hanh

Very cool news on the structure of the brain...
Yeah! The part of the brain where spatial dimension is calculated is bigger amongst taxi drivers.

London's black cab drivers must pass a daunting exam known as "The Knowledge" before they can sit behind the wheel. The Knowledge takes two years of study, and prospective drivers must memorize some 25,000 streets near Central London, and learn the quickest way between points. They must also know the whereabouts of every hospital, theatre, hotel, train station, etc., etc., etc. Then they sit for months of rigorous exams before being certified. Rest assured that a driver of a black taxi knows his or her stuff!

I disagree when it relates to a total lack of evidence. I might in fact be a purple cow. Without any evidence of this, you would need to be omniscience to know if I was.

Men will never be able to disprove the existence of God, because to do so would require the men to become gods themselves. Agnosticism is too lazy a position for people capable of rational thought. The idea of God will always be with humanity. Atheism is an untenable position, and agnosticism is unimpressive (rocks also lack opinions).

Actually, that's an example of subspeciation in action. It is taking place through the loss of genetic material , not additions of new characteristics through random mutations. Both examples are simply different "breeds" in the same species.

And by the way, atheism isn't untenable. Someone could rationaly believe something is true based on the basis of lack of evidence for the opposite.

At best, you can merely say that you lack knowledge about whether God exists. This is called agnosticism.

Invisible Pink Unicorn ?
if something is invisible, can it be pink ?
if it is pink, then surely we should be able to see it, and ,ergo, not invisible ?

Which now proves (by some of the strange logic being applied elsewhere in this thread).... that pink is a state of mind, not just something that you need to "see" to prove it's existence.

This encourages Atheists to claim not that they believe God doesn't exist, but rather that they simply have no belief on the subject.

One can lack knowledge of something and not believe in it. I have no evidence for an Invisable Pink Unicorn and I don't believe in an Invisable Pink Unicorn. I don't disbelieve in it, I simple don't believe in it. It is the same condition with standard atheism.
I think I've made that simple enough...
