Wow, how much cool aide did you drink today.  Look at all countries who are deeply religious , are they not in poverty, crisis and destitute.   Seriously, south america, middle east ,  many examples. As for then and than, you don't need to be childish in attacking someone .  No neo Marxixm is not the madness , its called EDUCATION.  Yes so your family is evangelical and  the kid learned good study habits.  God did not provide the knowledge science did and evolution gave her the brain.  The universe did not have a BIG BANG to purposefully create intelligent life forms but life forms evolved.    And pray tell , what do you know about the anthropic principle.

PS : be forwarned there might be typos should you decide to debate at low common denominator.

And I stand by ethereal lorezapam!
