YES ... evolution is a religion.

[Trout]

Actually ... they say theology is the queen of all science.

[Catholicity]

Trouty, you've jumped off the deep end again.

[Juvenal]

I think it is meant to be a discussion of how some people's approach to evolutionary faith is identical to some people's approach to religious faith.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, except for the part where it wasn't about trolling for flame warriors.

There is a fine line between apologetics and trolling and I've misplaced my reading glasses.

Once upon a time it was but it has been resting on its laurels for a long time. It failed to keep up or renew itself. The time by my watch is Darwin + 150 years.

As interesting as this nonsense may be I'm captivated by your signature line which reads "Adam did not fall".
Help me out here, was he pushed?

Did you used to post as a Christian here, FF? Under a different name? I might be wrong, but I think i remember that.

No, I have always been firstfloor. Regarding The Fall you need to appreciate that Christianity reads a theological overlay in Genesis that is not there in the raw text. Genesis is pre-Christian by hundreds of years so if you want to understand it as written you need to forget the Christian theology.

Yes!

Y'all just believe what the priesthood of white coated science says. You haven't done the math for yourself. You are just in lockstep agreement with those who validate your worldview.

That's fine by me, whatevs ... But for the love of Pete, just admit it.

I do the math myself. religion is not a science. The Baha'i Faith is my religion, the science of geology was my vocation before I retired.

Take out the word pre-Christian and Christian theology. and put atheist.

How did you come to the belief that evolution was in fact true (assuming that is your position)
