Him and other UN types are pretty fanatical in their faith in humanistic beliefs, too. They have a blind spot there, and are never called on it. Believing the Bible, that man's origins are ultimately from God and mediately a mystery, is every bit as valid as believing that the earth - indeed the universe - arose spontaneously and developed through unguided random processes. In fact, the more humble biblical view is easily the more plausible.
