Doug, I respect your opinions except I cannot agree that my distant relatives were monkeys.

"Imagine life without faith! Were nothing left but pure reason, it wouldn't be life. But we believed in life - of course we did! We could not prove life in the sense that you can prove a straight line is the shortest distance between two points, yet, there it was. Could we still say the whole thing was nothing but a mass of electrons, created out of nothing, meaning nothing, whirling on to a destiny of nothingness? Of course we couldn't. The electrons themselves seemed more intelligent than that. At least, so the chemist said.

Hence, we saw that reason isn't entirely everything. Neither is reason, as most of us use it, entirely dependable, though it emanate from our best minds."

Written in 1935, it still holds truth.
