Theist ➤ Why ☠ Evolution is not Scientific ✔

Everything else is an argument from ignorance and nothing whatsoever to do with evolution. As for your Provine quote, EvolutionWiki has this to say:

Quote:This is William Provine's view. It is not a scientific view, and it is not an inevitable outcome of evolution. It is the metaphysical view of one person on this matter. Evolution does not mean there is no life after death; if there is an impact on traditional ideas of life after death, perhaps the most difficult would be the possibility of animals other than humans sharing in the afterlife. As for ethics and an ultimate meaning to life, they are not contradicted by the theory of evolution. And free will, again, is a metaphysical debate having nothing to do with evolution. Provine is entitled to his views, but it seems he has made evolution into something it is not.

In other words, it's his personal opinion and not a scientific pronouncement. His credentials on this matter are irrelevant.

Good,  Now this is where the Pascal Wager argument kicks in.
Quote:Where are you going to place your bet? If you place it with God, you lose nothing, even if it turns out that God does not exist. But if you place it against God, and you are wrong and God does exist, you lose everything: God, eternity, heaven, infinite gain. "Let us assess the two cases: if you win, you win everything, if you lose, you lose nothing." ~Peter Kreeft Catholic Theologian

What is decency and where does it come from? If you do not have an objective standard of morality by which you can determine what is right or wrong, then from where do you get your morals?
