I like what she has to say, but all this was published two year ago.

As every scientist knows, a proper theory is falsifiable. I've not
encounter any evidence to indicate this article is any less true today
than it was in 2003.

Not sure why, but these lyrics come to mind:

She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child, but she's always a woman to me


She can lead you to love, she can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth, but she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her as long it's free
Yeah, She steals like a thief, but she's always a woman to me

CHORUS
Ohhh... she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants, she's ahead of her time
Ohhh... and she never gives out
And she never gives in, she just changes her mind


And she'll promise you more than the garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
But she'll bring out the best and the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself 'cause she's always a woman to me

CHORUS


She's frequently kind and she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases, she's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted, she's earned her degree
And the most she will do is throw shadows at you,
But she's always a woman to me

"Olga" is a troll, as recent posting history shows.

Still a darn good article.

Religion should be about the search for a high ethical standard, not
about positing (and worshiping) an egotistical divinity that may or may
not exist. (note: neither Jesus nor Buddha seemed to demand to be
worshipped when they were alive).

Science is about searching for how the world around us works.

Ann seems to have figured out the difference between the two.
