Let’s hear it for rational discourse governed by consistent processes of inquiry based on observable phenomena and repeatable experiments. Ahh the free market place of theories where ideas stand or fall on their accumulated merits and facts not on the emotional attachment to unprovable beliefs.

Oh, so you're against evolution too, I take it?

It is an unprovable belief to which some are emotionally attached that everything that is can be observed through man's physical senses or subjected to repeatable experiments. Truly rational discourse will acknowledge the unprovablity of this belief.

The free market of ideas allowed the Constitution which says ....When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Looks like Christianity proved itself for rational discourse and accumulated merits in providing the basis for this document.
