As a proponent of my God, who has taught me that there are spiritual truths with humanitarian principles to be found in many religions, alternative methodologies to investigating the natural world, and an understanding that we've been blessed with this playground named Earth for eons to better under...

Creating a child is what rats, cats, and bats do without thought. This is not 'creativity'.
Creativity without knowledge is art.
