Yeah but how do the little fellers know what's right and wrong? They must have a standard for goodness and therefore believe in God.
Anyway that's what I heard.
(p.s. Frans de Waal has been saying this about chimps for years; his Primates and Philosophers is a good read.)

That's 'cause he's a chimp, not a monkey. Everyone knows that chimps are atheists.

i heard Ham started praying when they told him up there his capsule was not coming back down....
One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.

As we all know, there are no atheists in space capsules. Or foxholes.
