How The Lord Loveth

I love it when scientists get snippy:
The creationists’ fondness for “gaps” in the fossil record is a metaphor for their love of gaps in knowledge generally. Gaps, by default, are filled by God. You don’t know how the nerve impulse works? Good! You don’t understand how memories are laid down in the brain? Excellent! Is photosynthesis a bafflingly complex process? Wonderful! Please don’t go to work on the problem, just give up, and appeal to God. Dear scientist, don’t work on your mysteries. Bring us your mysteries for we can use them. Don’t squander precious ignorance by researching it away. Ignorance is God’s gift to Kansas.

While I'm posting, does anyone have a dollar I can borrow? I feel like I've lost my mojo. My heart isn't in it anymore. I'm flagging and I could use a sugar rush. Can anyone spot me a little cash so I can buy a candy bar?
