The question of our origins was settled well over 100 years ago, as everyone well knows. We are the product of an unthinking, undirected natural process in an uncreated universe. That being the case, can we all not just rejoice in the good and useful qualities that evolution has led to, such as intelligence, empathy, compassion and love, rather than invoking a deity as the source of these things? Let us be grateful for what we like about our species, and strive to minimise the bad, and do these things for their own sake simply because they are good things to do, instead of with one eye on a reward in a non-existent afterlife. Let's make a better world without religious beliefs and all the division and conflict that such beliefs lead to. It really is long past time for our species to grow up.
