It Is Time That Scientists And Other

The Atheist, By Merely Being In Touch With Reality, Appears Shamefully Out Of Touch With The Fantasy Life Of His Neighbors.

The Freedom To Think Out Loud On Certain Topics, Without Fear Of Being Hounded Into Hiding Or Killed, Has Already Been Lost.

Science, In The Broadest Sense, Includes All Reasonable Claims To Knowledge About Ourselves And The World.

Values Reduce To Facts About The Well-being Of Conscious Creatures.

Life Is A Continuous Flux. Our Nonhuman Ancestors Bred, Generation After Generation, And Incrementally Begat What We Now Deem To Be The Species Homo Sapiens - Ourselves. There Is Nothing About Our Ancestral Line Or About Our Current Biology That Dictates How We Will Evolve In The Future. Nothing In The Natural Order Demands That Our Descendants Resemble Us In Any Particular Way. Very Likely, They Will Not Resemble Us. We Will Almost Certainly Transform Ourselves, Likely Beyond Recognition, In The Generations To Come.
