Re: Complete proof against evolution

Those who have the astonishing arrogance to place themselves within
the radius of perception of anything capable of instigating a universe
know less about time and space than a squashed dung beetle on a desert
road.

Religion only exists through the (deranged) thoughts and words of men.
Remove these men from history and their fantasies will no longer
exists and will never (ever) be invented.

Religion exists in its own space and time. Place it out of its
allotted time and/or space and that religion no longer exists. Or has
yet to be invented by man.

That the religion has yet to exist is ample proof that man is the
inventor and not some god or gods. A god would have the patience and
power over human minds to last forever in a simple, original form. Man
may try to embroider the truth but "god" would correct their nonsense
at every new iteration. Change one iota of the teachings of the human
"prophet" claiming insight and that religion no longer exists. That
religion is now officially dead. Another religion has been invented to
replace it. And another and another until time grows as old and slow
as the gods themselves.

One generation where the offspring are not brainwashed by their
parents is all it takes for a religion to cease to exist, forever. It
cannot be reinvented by the brightest minds on the planet struggling
for millennia. Simultaneously burning all the books is all that is
required to end all religions. Until the next is invented by man.

Science can be reinvented endlessly and will always provide the same
results. Most of science could even be reinvented in full by a
surviving AI construction with sufficient sensors if man ceased to
exist overnight. However "clever" an AI construction could not
reinvent Islam or Christianity. Nor the Roman, Greek, Druid's or
Aztec's gods.

Religion can never be reinvented. It is an artifice of small,
arrogant, human minds telling fantasies and lies for personal gain.
Attention seeking is a lowest common denominator. Seeking power
without muscle backup is another. Circumventing democracy is popular.

Religions are the last bastion of dictatorship over democratic
countries. Nobody gets to vote for the priests who wield such corrupt
power over others. Few may opt out of taxpayer's support for the
favourite religion of the day. Few may opt out of the official
religion of any particular country. Many religions bully others into
submission even when the aggressors form a small minority of the
population.. There is ample evidence throughout history, until the
present day, that religious power is totally corrupting. They may deny
it but those who practice religion do so corruptly for personal power,
greed, political control or the avoidance of prosecution for crimes
against humanity. Devoutly religious countries are usually poverty
stricken with a clique of ultra-rich men wielding religious power
corruptly. Religion = inequality.
