Most of the adherents to the world’s monotheistic religions believe that human beings are, in essence, souls that go to some form of afterlife when they die. Yet, as far as I’m aware, there are no such provisions made for our fellow primates, e.g., chimpanzees, nor for other intelligent species like dolphins and whales, nor for our beloved pets, like the fine dog pictured at left.
This strikes me as the height of ignorance and conceit.
We Separate Ourselves from Other Animals–The Height of Conceit
Looks like communism! is the new mantra of the GOP. It’s coming from the least intelligent of their leaders to the least intelligent of their followers.

What Obama says at left is a reminder that life in on Earth is tough enough without the planet’s most nation being led by a criminal sociopath.
As previously mentioned, it’s good to see the rising popularity of astrophysicist Dr. Brian Cox.
In this video, he explains that life on Earth is about 4 billion years old, but for the first 3 billion, there was nothing more complicated than single celled organisms. He suggests that this may be the reason that civilizations are rare in the universe, i.e., that they’re only around for the blink of an eye in terms of geologic time.
To me, it also makes one wonder why it took God 3 billion years to create the first multicelled form of life.
