A new movie came out today called, “The Invention of Lying”. I haven’t seen the movie but Roger Ebert’s review says that the movie “slips in the implication that religion is possible only in a world that has the ability to lie.” So just to be fair, I’ll throw out a few of the lies from the other side:

• There is no evidence of intelligent design in the complex life forms on the earth. These systems are all a product of random mutations, the vast majority of which are destructive to living organisms. Nevertheless, in the brief amount of time that life has been present on the earth, these systems have managed to achieve the present complexity we now observe (with eyes that require incredibly complex and sensitive chemical, electrical, and physical interactions in order to transmit a right-side-up, color image to our brains).
• Although there is ample evidence that time, space and matter (the universe of contingencies) had its beginning with a quantum singularity, it is absurd to believe that there is an eternal “prime mover” from whence this universe of contingencies has its origin.
• Although there is no source of morality outside of the individual (or a society of individuals), it is wrong to murder, lie, discriminate on the basis of race, or to be greedy.

This should be enough to keep Joe Wilson heckling for a while.
