[Dr. Eckleburg]

You're asking for an explanation of everything from the Big Bang to geology to abiogenesis to evolutionary biology to anthropological origins to religious origins to contemporary moral problems all in one post. Considering it takes scholars and scientists decades to gain mastery of even minor aspects of these questions, that's a pretty tall order!

Probably why I like the brevity of the Christian response.

So you choose an explanation based upon how well it fits in a sound byte, without regard to possible truth value?

Quite a damaging admission? You have already presented us with simple-minded distortion of American history, as written by a Calvinist theologian--which also has the 'merit' of brevity, so much quicker and easier to get through than all those primary sources, all the scholarship of historians, &c. &c.

And why deal with the complexities of human morality, human history, human freedom and dignity when--hey presto!--you've got a package of boil-in-the-bag bromides all packaged up on your 'free books' website.

Sort of like the fast-food version of morality.

Funny how you don't engage Darwin, who published nothing on ethics or morality, on science, in which he remains a seminal thinker.

One could grow dubious about your true agenda...
