Sometimes from the European side of the world one wonders if the US people are aware of some issues such as the functioning of the EPA -which via orgs such as the WTO affect the acceptance of GMO's worldwide-, so it is great to see that this man can so clearly articulates some of these problems. Thank you Lawrence Krauss!

I couldn't tell, sorry. Crazy religion fanatics tend to prey on scientific stuff that points out the stupidity of certain religious beliefs, so I assumed stuff wrongly.
Here's some better sarcasm:
I hope that God decides your fate early and makes sure you suffer(he ~not she~ does that). The good lord loves me, but he hates you people for believing that "evolution" nonsense. He created all of us, and science hasn't done anything positive for us like Jesus has!
Lolz.

Interesting. When it comes to Education, Mutation and Natural Selection are "Theories" and you have to "Teach the Controversy". But when people's lives are at stake, SUDDENLY there's no prayer or witch doctors, all of a sudden it's mutating microscopic organisms instead of evil spirits. How convenient.

The school shootings were a long time coming. I had the same access and the same temptation at that age... and it was the early 80s. Fortunately for me, I had a mentor that operated as my moral compass that diverted my hostility elsewhere. God forgive me, but I must confess that most who pushed me that way were fellow Christians in their background.

Most of my fellow Christians are a bit irrationally (conveniently) accepting of this. Fortunately, most of us primarily rely upon science ("those who God gifted with the will and ability to study the ways of man and the world.")

Religion isnt a part of human nature, its just supersticion , science and education will make it absolete.
I live in norway in scandinavia. And we have less than 10% of people that are religius.
And most of them are immigrants and have brought their religion with them. And their numbers are shrinking.
I do belive that this eventualy will happen all over the world, mabye not in my lifetime but eventualy, unless the Fundamentalist destroy the earth first
