A quotation from Ingersoll

For me, it is hard to see the plan or design in earthquakes and pestilences. It is somewhat difficult to discern the design or the benevolence in so making the world that billions of animals live only on the agonies of others. The justice of God is not visible to me in the history of this world. When I think of the suffering and death, of the poverty and crime, of the cruelty and malice, of the heartlessness of this “design” and “plan,” where beak and claw and tooth tear and rend the quivering flesh of weakness and despair, I cannot convince myself that it is the result of infinite wisdom, benevolence, and justice.

Observing and Experiencing our Own Reality:

A detailed 3D geometric model of a 600-cell tetrahedral complex. 1.) Dimensions 1D can be a line - something with length only, no width, no height, no thickness, no depth. 2D can be a square - a flat plane figure with only two measurements - length and width, no thickness, no depth. 3D can be a cube - a solid geometric figure with three spatial dimensions of length, width and height (or depth), occupying space and having volume. 4D can be a tesseract - with four spatial dimensions, […]

do those adherents of moronic skyfairydelusionality, with their #IntelligentDesign malarkey, happen to cite the existence of #mandarins as part of their, ahem, "proof" [sic]?

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

   A devout clergyman sought every opportunity to impress upon the mind of his son the fact, that God takes care of all his creatures; that the falling sparrow attracts his attention, and that his loving kindness is over all his works.
   Happening, one day, to see a crane wading in quest of food, the good man pointed out to his son the perfect adaptation of the crane to get his living in that manner. “See,” said he, “how his legs are formed for wading! What a long slender bill he has! Observe how nicely he folds his feet when putting them in or drawing them out of the water! He does not cause the slightest ripple. He is thus enabled to approach the fish without giving them any notice of his arrival.”
   “My son,” said he, “it is impossible to look at that bird without recognizing the design, as well as the goodness of God, in thus providing the means of subsistence.”
   “Yes,” replied the boy, “I think I see the goodness of God, at least so far as the crane is concerned; but after all, father, don’t you think the arrangement a little tough on the fish?”
