| superchunk said: Yes. It is fact based on current observations. Hell, you can see evolution in our own recorded history in various animals, plants and otherwise. I think too many people fear it breaks the foundations of their beliefs, which is silly really. There is no reason creation wasn't managed via tools and natural laws such as evolution. |
I don't think that is realistic. Evolution really excludes a purpose for god in creating life so the primitive concept of a god isn't required. Also lets face it you would not want such a god anyway. Life is horrific, we live comfortable lives away from the reality of nature. An animal like a deer can be ripped apart in huge pain with a fawn inside both horrifically consumed with no regard for their suffering. As a mathematical evolutionary process without compassion it makes sense but apply a god to that and you have one sick bastard and certainly not a god that is going to provide some wonderful afterlife for all or who is compassionate. Religion is just pure garbage quite frankly, it's more about the human ego than it is about explaining why we are here. Religion is a disease of the mind, it corrupts reality and tries to spread infecting other people. It's hard to fight because the human ego protects it so strongly. Evolution has nothing, its a bitter truth that isn't very palettable to the weak minded with strong ego's.
