Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

The origion of species 2nd edition.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved." P-490
So it's okay for Darwin to mention a God, or a Creator? Doesn't that throw off the whole theory of evolution?
And, there's Michael Cremo, who found a coin in an Illinois well that could be between 200,000 to 400,000 years old. He has a book called
Forbidden Archeology. Mr Cremo has had a first hand experience with other scientists who want to keep the finds a secret. Only because the most recent finds prove the evolution theory to be false.
Don't get me wrong... I understand how people dislike the theory of God, or black holes or whatever. But ignoring the facts just sux. Doesn't it?
Who said the Creator had to be God? It could have just been an anthropomorphism of nature.
“Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe but in proportion to their readiness to doubt” - H.L. Mencken
No, not really. After all, he was studying to be an Anglical Priest and he only took the voyage on the HMS Beagle because he wanted to take some time off from school after graduating. In fact, if you look a bit deeper, he thought that evolution was itself an argument for intelligent design.
The Athropic Principal: Shit sucks, you are not special, deal with it.
So dude, you used a computer which runs on electricity that may well have come from a nuclear reactor to send your message down wires which were put in place by the phone/cable company so that they could make millions of dollars only to use the internet to tell us that you don't believe in science?
No, that's ridiculous. I suspect you don't actually know what evolution is. Articulate for me your understanding of the subject (that is, what do you understand by the term "evolution", and I will see if you actually know what you are talking about).
"Physical reality” isn’t some arbitrary demarcation. It is defined in terms of what we can systematically investigate, directly or not, by means of our senses. It is preposterous to assert that the process of systematic scientific reasoning arbitrarily excludes “non-physical explanations” because the very notion of “non-physical explanation” is contradictory.

how does Charles Darwin's comment at the end of The Origin of Species, reflect on the current debate surrounding intelligent design and evolution. I agree with you, I would just like to know your point of view. You can email me at bballgirll3379@yahoo.com. thank you, jamie
