"Certitude on the big questions is the mark of arrogance, and that basket includes plenty of atheists along with religionists, who share in common an attitude that they know what's up with everything with no doubt that they might be off the mark. How do atheists know with such cocky certitude that there is no purposeful design in creation? They don't know. They just think it. Same with religious claims. They can't be known for certitude anything beyond the fact that they are sitting there thinking about those things. I like a good conversation, but find certitude on both extreme sides somewhat comical." ~by yobymmij (comment on 5/21/2011 Reuters article "Broadcaster silent as 'Judgment Day' hours tick by"
