Pass the Chillum dude.

Your words really stung. It's true that we cannot have one without the other, yet, when we overestimate the believes of religion, the curiosity and the hunger for knowledge like "what is that", "why is that" etc. comes down. We start to believe that we don't have to find it, we don't have to achieve it, the so called "God" will give us all, the answers, everything we need... and that is the biggest drawback of humans, even humanity. The history has proof how people have tortured others just because of superstition. Wikipedia says that many were executed during organised witch-hunts, particularly from the 15th–18th centuries. Large numbers of people were prosecuted for witchcraft in Europe between 1560 and 1630. Until around 1440 witchcraft-related prosecutions in Europe centred on maleficium, the concept of using supernatural powers specifically to harm others. Cases came about from accusations of the use of ritual magic to damage rivals. Up until the early 15th century, there was little association of witchcraft with Satan. While lots of studies says that most of them were ordinary people. This is the only reason I, don't know about the rest of the people, began to hate religion at a point. Otherwise, I'm also a big fan of belief.

Very sensible answer.

No, no, no, evolution is for all intents and purposes irrefutable fact.
