Secular Creed

oh sentient
beings
hear my prayer

i believe in natural selection

i believe
in kindness generosity
sympathy and love

i believe
in the big bang
quantum physics evolution

i believe in natural selection

i believe
in climate change
overpopulation

i believe
in the scientific
method

i believe in natural selection

i believe
in data produced by observable reproducible
statistically-significant research

i believe
in ethical unbiased
exploration and experimentation

i believe in natural selection

i believe
in knowledge earned through logical
analysis of quality information

i believe
in the interconnection between myself my
immediate environment and the universe

i believe in natural selection

i promise never to alter my beliefs
due to hearsay opinion anecdotal evidence
social or political pressure

i believe in natural selection

i promise to alter my beliefs
whenever presented with
reasonable verifiable facts

i believe in natural selection

this i believe
until further information
becomes available

amen

(i believe in natural selection)
