One of the problems with the techno point to deities is that when man invented the anthropomorphic gods, he had yet to learn what makes nature tick. He saw the sun, moon, and natural items like trees & animals. He saw natural disasters such as floods and was overwhelmed by them. Although humans had the ability to think & reason, this capability was totally untapped and in an effort to confront this took what he would have seen as logical, "There has to be an entity that caused all this." Thus the invention of deities. He even gave these deities human biases, prejudices and emotions.

You are asking for the authority of a figure taken from an out of context quote. As was stated by Dr Adaquate
Satire does not require numerical precision.
The qoute was in responce to saying the following.
creo speaker writes:
How can you believe in evolution, when it is only ~90% correct?
The quote was a response to that.
Both signature quotes 2 & 3 are sarcastic remarks to questions posed to me.

Re: *Welcome*
You're not the first leftist to feign intellectual supremacy.
You just think you're clever. You began by "welcoming" me here, and quickly made the transition to insults, condescension, and pretension. You're really masterful at all of them.
In the first place, leftist is a relative term. Obviously to you, Omniverous would be to the left, whereas that does not make him a leftist. You evidently have an extreme "rightist" view if as you state
But then again, you're in a den full of such
I doubt that Buzsaw or ICANT would agree that they are leftists.

image?
humans were made in God's image we are special, unique, and some beleive have souls as which animals may not.....animals are just animals for lack of better words
That is nothing but a religious belief based on nothing but the ideas of some bronze aged farmer or hunter. There is no evidence that that is so. Actually god is made in the image of the person who believes in him/her/it.
