“People sometimes try to score debating points by saying, Evolution is only a theory. That is correct, but it's important to understand what that means. It is also only a theory that the world goes round the Sun - it's just a theory for which there is an immense amount of evidence. There are many scientific theories that are in doubt. Even within evolution, there is some room for controversy. But that we are cousins of apes and jackals and starfish, let's say, that is a fact in the ordinary sense of the word.” PeopleWorldTryingMeanImportantSometimesFactsRoomsSunDoubtAtheismTheoryEvolutionAmountOrdinaryEvidenceRoundsPositive AtheismScoreImmenseCousinControversyApesScientific TheoryJackalsStarfish Author:Richard Dawkins
“The determination of the value of an item must not be based on its price, but rather on the utility it yields. The price of the item is dependent only on the thing itself and is equal for everyone; the utility, however, is dependent on the particular circumstances of the person making the estimate. Thus there is no doubt that a gain of one thousand ducats is more significant to a pauper than to a rich man though both gain the same amount.” MenPersonsValuesMoneyRichDoubtParticularAmountCircumstancesThousandEqualGainsDeterminationSignificantNo DoubtDependentYieldItemsUtilityRich Man Author:Daniel Bernoulli

“There exists in society a very special class of persons that I have always referred to as the Believers. These are folks who have chosen to accept a certain religion, philosophy, theory, idea or notion and cling to that belief regardless of any evidence that might, for anyone else, bring it into doubt. They are the ones who encourage and support the fanatics and the frauds of any given age. No amount of evidence, no matter how strong, will bring them any enlightenment. They are the sheep who beg to be fleeced and butchered, and who will battle fiercely to preserve their right to be victimized.” PersonsIdeasMatterPhilosophyMightAgeCertainBeliefStrongGivenAcceptingClassSupportDoubtSpecialTheoryAmountBattleEnlightenmentEvidenceNotionFolksBelieverChosenPreservesFraudSheepFanaticsPhilosophy Of ReligionStrong Will Book:The Mask of Nostradamus: The Prophecies of the World's Most Famous Seer Source: The Mask of Nostradamus: The Prophecies of the World's Most Famous Seer
