This Wednesday, we will be having a special show focusing on the murder of Dr. George Tiller, an abortion provider from Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Tiller was shot and killed Sunday during church services. D-Cubed from the Maggot Punks will be appearing to talk about being on the front-lines of the battle between the so-called "pro-lifers" and the women who needed the clinic's services and the employees who worked there.  One man, Troy Newman, not a suspect in the murder, had taken it upon himself to ruin the lives of those who worked at the clinic and to harass anybody who went there in need of help. The Maggot Punks notoriously used his own tactics against him and documented it in a short film exposing Mr. Newman and his movement in the Wichita area. It will be a compelling and eye-opening story for those who have not had to face that kind of discrimination, so be sure to tune in around 8 PM EST to hear the story from a man who has been intimately involved with this clinic and the protection of its clients. (The show could start as late as 8:30 PM, but it will begin to air between those times.)

Check out the Maggot Punks' Myspace page for more information.

No doubt there's some important stuff I'll have missed; feel free to add to the list as you see fit:

God did not create the universe

Our universe was formed via the expansion of a singularity and subsequent formation of structures by hydrogen atoms through gravitational attraction. A magical deity adds nothing to the known explanation.

God did not create the solar system or the Earth

Our sun was formed by the particle clouds left behind from previous stars, and our planet (as well as every other planet in the solar system) formed from an accretion disk surrounding our sun.

God did not create life on Earth

Life on Earth was formed through a chemical evolutionary process known as 'abiogenesis' (not to be confused with modern evolutionary science, dealing with the propagation of alleles through a population).

God did not create homo sapiens

Homo sapiens evolved along the primate branch of the genetic tree. We are simply the 'latest model' of great apes.

God did not give us 'souls' or 'free will'

Human beings are conscious and self-aware via their brains. An extra, magical source for our intelligence adds nothing to the known explanation.

God has yet to answer a prayer

Under controlled conditions, when a request is made via prayer for something unambiguous, nothing ever happens.

God did not provide us with accurate insight into the mechanics the universe he supposedly was somehow involved in erecting

None of the mythological texts supposedly divined into existence by God reflect reality.

God did not talk to you last night

You can kid yourself and your choir all you like. We both know it didn't happen.

God did not send his Holy Spirit through you

See above.

God did not invent morality

Morality was a trait favored by natural selection, as it encourages population growth & stability.

So then:

What the Hell did God do that is apparently so obvious to you? All of the things traditionally attributed to God are mis-attributions; it's just outright wrong to say that magic was somehow necessary to make the universe, Earth, people, etc. We also both know that you're being dishonest when you claim that a prayer was magically answered or that God manifested for you.

So: where does God come into it?
