terrymaster69 writes "The New York Times reports that the National Academy of Sciences has just published their third book outlining guidelines for the teaching of evolution. 'But this volume is unusual, people who worked on it say, because it is intended specifically for the lay public and because it devotes much of its space to explaining the differences between science and religion, and asserting that acceptance of evolution does not require abandoning belief in God.'"

    Its irrational to believe in something there is no proof of.

    Millions of people claim to have felt a connection to a higher being / existence. It is irrational to dismiss evidence because it does not fit your paradigm.
