New study to be printed in Nature I believe in about 2 weeks. Legal abortion has led to reduced crime rates because of fewer unwanted and abused children. Stay tuned for the fireworks. TP

"it's a set of works read mostly by those predisposed" That applies to all who read. I don't agree with Ayn Rand in rejecting transcendental knowledge, although she may be right we can never know. God existing is irrelevant to what she had to say.

Tiger Paw--Regarding the most famous 'atheists' of the past century I would agree that Ayn Rand is not it. Bertrand Russell would seem a better canditate though he considered himself an agnostic feeling that the term 'atheist' did not apply as the existence or not of a God is not something that can be proved. He did not however believe in a god. Far more famous would be Mark Twain. The main argument against Twain would be in terms of what century embraces him. He did die in 1910 so certainly the 20th can lay some claim to him. All the Best Druss
