If there is to be any hope of cutting their popular support and political power, doing what Darwinists have done for the last half century isn't going to do it."

-- Steven D'Aprano

"If we can agree that one of the greatest threats to the survival of life is our culture's enduring dualism and the quest for certainty encouraged by it, the issue becomes: what can we do about it?"
