Evolution and Religion

[loseyourname]

What is this nonsense? Evolution has nothing to say about the beginnings of the universe, and it certainly has nothing to say about the existence or non-existence of God. All is says is that currently extant species evolved from previous species, and it guesses at how they did. That's all. Quit being an alarmist fool.

Folks I would like to also remind readers that evolution and creation are two diametrically opposed worldviews. Evolution maintains the universe began naturally, as opposed to supernaturally. Creation begins with the premise of God, the other with premise that there is no God. They are both scientific and religious. Anyone else who tells you otherwise has discovered all the answers there is to know for humankind.

By the way, if anyone is interested, John Maynard Smith, one of our greatest evolutionary biologists, died several days ago. He was old, though, and lived a good life. If he's still around in some other form, I wish him luck. If not, I appreciate the contributions he made while he was here.

This is an interesting link. I think it clears up some of the confusion regarding whether evolution is a theory or a fact.

This has nothing to do with what I posted so re-phuckin-lax, buddy.

You must be on your rag. Wait about five days so you will not bleed all over the forum.

More from the good satanist as he discharges his fluent gibberish which fortunately I am not fluent in.

Don't tell others what to do. If they want to discuss in this thread, they will. If you don't like it, don't read. It's quite simple, really.

As far as evolution is concerned, my only goal is to expose it for what it is, a naturalistic philosophy, a worldview, a belief, a metaphysical assumption. Call it what you will. Essentially, it's okay if people adhere or believe in it, but let's call it exactly that, a belief, and not "fact".

And please people, stop resurrecting this thread. I am sorry I ever started it. It is the most boring one to date.
