Move over Jehovah, Allah is here!

The great thing about Darwin's scheme is that there is absolutely no need for a god of any sort, everything makes sense, and there are no contradictions such as those that riddle any bible or religion. Religions spend a lot of time making up new and inconsistent excuses about why this trivial matter and that in the bible must be true and why observations of the natural world must be wrong. Looking at relatively recent history there is the 'shroud of Turin' which was declared a forgery by cardinals investigating the claims in the years in which the mystical shroud first appeared. That didn't stop people from believing it was a holy relic. Over a decade ago a small sample was cut off and subjected to carbon dating - strangely enough, the fibers dated to the era of the first appearance of the relic. It's a beautiful work of art, but a work of god it ain't. Yet so many people still refuse to believe that it is anything but a work of art. Religions are formed on a whim really - Mormonism is only a little over 160 years old and new religions come and go on a regular basis (the USA seems to be the world's most prolific source of cults at the moment). Now who was it that said "people will believe the darndest things"?
