Animal groups do not evolve greater and greater new designs as time goes by, but rather are at their maximum level of diversity early in their history.

Theism, atheism and morality

As I see it, the current discussion about the relation between theism, atheism and morality is bedeviled by two false and often unexamined assumptions.
