      @neiltyson watching an interview you just did- curious to know why you think the USA was not constructed on a religious foundation ..

      Many reasons, but among them, neither God nor any other religious entity is mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution.

          How about the fact that the US was constructed on Enlightenment ideas, which are almost diametrically opposed to religious dogma?

          For very good reason. The same reason that you don't listen to your imaginary friend when he gives you tips on how to build a Boeing 747.

          you know that the iss is in perfect orbit so would the ice not move at the same speed as the iss??

          No, if the ice is accelerated by a force faster than the ISS it would be moving faster since ISS speed is it's start speed.

          If it were construction, the constitution would be the building and would be embedded in the preamble ("Under God")- its the foundation:-)

          So in approx 6000 words-1500 for the Declaration & 4500 for the constitution-there's one mention of god, and suddenly it's whole framework?

          Hi. If there's no law under God (there's only one God, capital G), it'll be anarchy, it'll be relativism coz' no one source of morality

          Old Testament or New? Tribal war god or univ god of love? 140K in heaven or all are saved? Not exactly a clear guide to one morality, is it
