O'neil: We have the starry heavens above figured out, and i think we're getting a pretty good handle on the moral law within. So what place then for god? O'neil: I don't get it in the face of the evidence of the bad people that exist in the world. Who are you to say that this moral code is written and writte in all our hearts? he asks.
