Okay...here's the issue. It cannot be proven 100%, no, but it already has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. It's observed daily, we were able to test, restest, create, and recreate evolution in bacteria and plants. To deny that is foolish. evolution IS real, and while there is that infinitecimal chance we're wrong, evolution has been as proven as anything is going to get. Those who deny that are foolish. As for the whole God thing..that has nothing to do with it. Religious theory and evolution are NOT mutually exclusive and nowhere on this site, this thread, or the other infamous thread have I once tried to convince anyone that God is not real or that they shouldn't believe. The entire original argument was based on the fact that if religion wants to be taken seriously as an origin theory, or to keep having its claws dug into our collective social psyche, we should stop treating it with kids gloves, and it should lose its supposed immunity to criticism. I'm not trying to cause shit, but people seem to jump on any bandwagon they can rather than addressing the issue initially brought up...which has been completely ignored in lieu of much more heated arguments about various oppressions, insensitivity, and mutually exclusive assumptions. Seriously, stop that. |
Where did I ever try to say that we should deny evolution or scientific theories? Like you said, they are not mutually exclusive and I don't see any problem with either.
Also, while you may have had supposed good reasons for your thread and replies, you poison your posts with snide insults towards religious people or religious beliefs. You flame them by calling their god a "master puppeteer"; you call religion childish, old fashioned, naive; even in this post you add a patronizing tone by saying "treating it with kids gloves"...
Religion is far from immune to criticism, everyone should be able to see that. You keep asking someone to prove what cannot be testable. You can't "test" an act that defies logic, so really trying to critique both Scientific and Religious theories in the same manner is extremely shallow and foolish.
