1. Science is the study of the natural world. Just "another story"? Hahaha, wow.
2. Not everybody finds sunsets beautiful.
3. There is no evidence that a person's path in life is planned, predetermined, or written in stone.

There is no world that we don't see with our eyes and attempt to judge and fit into categories. That is what science does best, and as I said, they will be busy for a long time.

Of course not, but that doesn't mean a sunset is not beautiful to someone else.

or better yet that all individuals learn to communicate with one another with courtesy, kindness, and respect. The buck starts here. Not with "them" or "the other guy" but with each individaul taking personal responsibility for our own attitudes, words. Name-calling of any kind, such as in the post above, is simply a walking advertisement for the person speaking. As long as we blame anyone else for our own actions and words, in this instance feeling justified in hostility and name-calling, we are not taking responsibility for our self.

Every day I strive to realize that there is really no such person as a nutjob.
