It's obvious which pill you took.
This is where the theist confuses "atheist" with evolution. "atheist" is actually a separate issue than evolution.
There is no confusion Brian.
As far as most atheists got the idea that man is the most evolved thing around then I have no choice but to say that atheists are stuck in the dogma.
Quote:Evolution is the scientific study of how life changes over long periods of time. "atheist" strictly addresses one claim, that of god/s.
Let me correct your statement.
I rather say..........The evolution that I know is the scientific study of how PHYSICAL life changes over long periods of time.......
This type of evolution does not deal with changes in consciousness therefore is a limited study which show and teach very very little.
Quote:The other mistake Rik is making here is that evolution DOES NOT CLAIM that humans are the apex of life, but merely one species among many. When scientists say humans have more developed brains, that does not mean we are an apex, merely that we have different adaptations as a species. Other life is better adapt to do other things. Like bacteria and cockroaches are better and faster at reproduction than humans and they have been far more successful than humans.
As far as atheists take this limited knowledge as the cream of knowledge then I have to say that you guys are fooling yourselves.
How the hell can you give so much importance to a study that deal only with changes in bodies and forget completely about changes in consciousness?
How can you be so so stupid?
Quote:It is actually the opposite with humans when it comes to religion. Theist get taught that they are the top of the chain and that a divine power gave them dominion over all other life. The problem with this mentality is that it teaches us to abuse our environments because there is an afterlife so who cares what we do now.
That is typical of many religious theists.
Nothing to do with me.

Quote:Evolution as a science says that all life lives in an ecosystem that we share, and when one aspect of that system gets out of balance it affects the rest of the life in that ecosystem.
Agree, but I would rather say that you mean the physical evolution.
Quote:So when the theist cannot defend claims of magic and poof, they attack scientific method to falsely vilify it. The irony is that they do so while using computers, the product of scientific method.
Not all theists are fanatics.
Nothing to do with me.
