There's a saying in India: "Dead men have large eyes." Someone in my family died some years back -- he was an utter asshole when he was alive. But he suddenly became the most noble, wonderful, heroic husband/father/son. . . what a load of shit. When my dad died, my mom and I agreed that we wouldn't do that to him. We still discuss his flaws and shortcomings to this day... as we sob out our grief and heartache at his loss.

The fun thing about evolution (and science in general) is that it happens whether you believe in it or not.
