Humans are fragile, saying you can't live without blood is like saying
you can't live without a heart. It is true, but there are 888888
things humans can't live without, like salt for instance. Do you have
any proof that all of the scientists were Christians? Also you do know
that you implicitly said freedom isn't freedom, it's enslavement. Are
you saying by being bound to a deity you are free? Ah well, at least I
gots his noodly goodness.
