"Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics. You are all stardust. You couldn\u2019t be here if stars hadn\u2019t exploded. Because the elements, the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution weren\u2019t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. And the only way they could get into your body is if the stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so you could be here today." \u2014 Lawrence Krauss<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Miley Cyrus Tweets on Science & Religion<\/a><\/h4>\n

A few days ago, Miley Cyrus posted this picture to her Twitter account, calling it \u201dBeautiful\u201d<\/a>:
\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And some of her critics\u2014and fans\u2014responded, by attacking Cyrus and accusing her of no longer being a Christian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Cyrus responded with two more tweets:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cMiley, we\u2019re so proud of you for standing up in your new tweets about your beliefs that the world was created through evolution, even though you were attacked by some livid fans!\u201d veteran editor Bonnie Fuller posts on Hollywood Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She writes: \u201cYour message to your haters is that #1, science and religion can co-exist, and #2, that love is what\u2019s important and #3, to bring hate into religion is a terrible thing. We couldn\u2019t agree more, Miley! Good for you for standing up for your beliefs and for not allowing yourself to be pushed around by haters who have called you horrible names!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
