"Scientists do not join hands every Sunday and sing “Yes gravity is real! I know gravity is real! I will have faith! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down, down, down. Amen!” If they did, we would think they were pretty insecure about the concept."

Why do some people use what they don't know, like the infinity of time or the mystery on the universe, to define what they know?
Another example, believing all the religious stories on God is like believing a person can fly. Is it my burden to prove he can't fly or is it your burden, as a believer, to prove that he can?

Is it my burden to prove Darwin's theory (that every complex organ in existence was formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications) is false or is it your burden, as a believer, to prove that it is true?
