the failure of science, page-8

hi Happy

People are always happier when they "know" what’s going on.
If they don't know they will invent or alter circumstances to fit, almost all legends have some basis of fact.

Many people need something to believe in to give their lives order and many are basically brain washed from birth.
In general having a religion is not a bad thing because most of the religions produce a social support system that promotes good living and sound rules to base your life upon.
But if a religion is to survive for a long time it must have power and wealth.
The beginnings of the Christian Church shows a battle for power and the use of that power to get wealth and then use that power and wealth to promote their story

Your quote
For example a debate about whether all life originated from that which was put in pairs on a boat is not a debate in earth and biological science, for those sciences have developed to such a degree that such a concept is an absurdity

What if the powers on our planet wanted to immigrate to another planet what would they do?
They would in all probability provide a big boat and call it in our terminology a space ship.
They would then put two of each species, plus food and grain and send it off to another planet to start a new colony

Put in these terms is it still an absurdity
