I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

Man can do nothing without what God has provided. I reminded of a joke I heard about God making a bet with scientist that if they could make a man out of dirt that He would leave them alone. The scientist said oh yeah, we can do that." then they scooped up some dirt and God told them they had to find their own dirt to use because the dirt they scooped up was His. You can deny GOd all you want to but it isnt going to make a difference on judgment day. You may think Mr. Comfort is a fool, but the only fool is the person who says in his heart there is no GOd. There is a God and there is a Jesus, that wants to save you from hell and take you to heaven. please search these things out. God still gave man the brain to domesticate the banana.
