Welke positie over het bestaan van god(en) onderschrijft u?
Bekende atheïsten Christopher Hitchens, schrijver, journalist en literair criticus.
CitaatIf you have a faith, it is statistically overwhelmingly likely that it is the same faith as your parents and grandparents had. No doubt soaring cathedrals, stirring music, moving stories and parables, help a bit. But by far the most important variable determining your religion is the accident of birth. The convictions that you so passionately believe would have been a completely different, and largely contradictory, set of convictions, if only you had happened to be born in a different place. Epidemiology, not evidence. ~ Richard Dawkins |

Hoi Bart,
Met een paar duizend pagina's fictie, een paar honderd pagina's non-fictie en tientallen studiegerelateerde wetenschappelijke artikelen op mijn 'te lezen lijst' ben ik blij met dit soort 'samenvattingen'.
Bedankt!
Groet,
Wilgert Velinga
p.s. het gaat uiteraard om dit artikel: "Evolutie: wetenschappelijk model of seculier geloof"
