Regarding the absurd notion that evolution implies atheism, you write…
Although it is ahistorical and anti-scientific, Ken Ham YEC, IDers like you, and New Atheists like Dawkins (the YEC-ID-Dawkins axis) insist on sucking us all into the culture war. You are all flat wrong. Thankfully, you all are totally marginalized. No one listens to the YEC-ID-Dawkins axis in science, and the axis has no political power.
This of course raises a puzzling question about you. Do you really wish “that it were so”, that evolution didn’t imply atheism?
Forgive me if I doubt you. You seem to want to be at war with mainstream science, even when we bend over backwards to accommodate belief in God, creation, and design. You appear to be choosing a false reality, in order to stoke the conflict. It looks like you want war. Maybe you have been lied to? Maybe you are unaware of the truth? But after this thread, it really looks like you want there to be conflict.
For this there is really nothing that can be done. You can continue on in the marginalized YEC-ID-Dawkins axis, making noise for us to ignore and messes for us to clean up. It seems very futile and pointless.
I can only hope that the Prince of Peace whom you rightfully follow will continue His good work in you to completion. I hope someday soon, you can choose peace instead of war.
This of course is a total distortion of my point. Evolution is one of the most wildly successful scientific theories of all of modern science. The fact that you are devoted to arguing against Dawkin’s already flawed and discredited “neo-Darwinism” is just odd. Science moved on decades ago. It would help if you at least understood the thing (evolution) that you are so devoted to reject.
Eugenie Scott is right to both (1) promote science education for the public (you certainly could benefit) and (2) diligently partner with religious leaders to emphasize the evolution itself is not anti-God. On both points, she is correct and wise. I’m happy to work with her to explain the God-neutral truth of science. There is nothing in science that threatens Jesus.
@deliberateresult you are promoting an anti-scientific and anti-Christian understanding of evolution. You are pursing war. Someday, maybe, I hope you choose peace.
