For all you fans of Interesting Today - I'm sorry to say that this will be the last edition, for now. Not sure if, or when, I will be back to it. Doing this has been a fun part of my day, but couple of other projects require my attention. The many hours that I spend on here would give me that much needed time for those projects. So enjoy this last one and who knows, I might be back! :)

a mobile church... the evolution of religion

I do not pretend to be able to prove that there is no God. I equally cannot prove that Satan is a fiction. The Christian God may exist; so may the Gods of Olympus, or of ancient Egypt, or of Babylon. But no one of these hypotheses is more probable than any other: they lie outside the region of even probable knowledge, and therefore there is no reason to consider any of them.” Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), What I Believe, 1925
