Science flies you to the moon.


Religion flies you into buildings.

I think it's a good saying, and better than "There's probably no god".

Catchy slogan, and so true.

So this is annoying. The Dawkins people, whatever they wanna call themselves, basically HAD to put the "probably" into the original message because of religious hate speech laws. However, Christians have now put out a bus campaign saying "There definitely is a god".

So, Atheists can't be sure about things, lest they offend someone who believes in God...But who gives a **** otherwise?

I thought the "probably" was in there because it's impossible to prove a negative existential proposition, and also to include agnostics into the message. I hadn't heard about the hate speech laws; if true, that's super duper lame.

 I actually can't find a source for it...Hard to find a comprehensive google search.  I heard it on a radio show.

Anyway, this is probably my favorite think from Dawkins and Co.
