... teaches us? - to believe that the Almighty committed debauchery with a woman engaged to be married, and the belief of this debauchery is called faith." [Thomas Paine] Provide proof the bible is actually telling the true account of past events. Using the paradox “it’s true, because the bible tells me so!” doesn’t hold water. To create a document, then within the document itself, proclaim all that’s written within the document is true, proves nothing!

... as if life can always be counted on to devise a way somehow (even miraculously) to survive, i.e., "life will find a way". The SF writer, Robert A. Heinlein, a Social Darwinist, once wrote, "there will always be survivors"; he meant only "survival of the fittest", of course, with the implication that the "non-fit" don't "deserve" to live. Nazism (blatant power fantasy) was an outgrowth of Social Darwinism with the implication that "natural order" dictates that human society should be patterned on this; that the "unfit", "weak and inferior" should be actively "weeded" out by society.
