The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. Religious fanatics want people to switch off their own minds, ignore the evidence, and blindly follow a holy book based upon private 'revelation'. Physicists are working on the Big Bang, and one day they may or may not solve it. I think I would abolish schools which systematically inculcate sectarian beliefs. Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed with a purpose. There's branches of science which I don't understand; for example, physics. It could be said, I suppose, that I have faith that physicists understand it better than I do. Natural selection will not remove ignorance from future generations.
