Finally an atheist proper, with views and questions
#44
RE: Finally an atheist proper, with views and questions
Sound enough. We'll not soon run short of examples showing how we're built to find dinner, not the truth. OTOH, we'll also have plenty of examples to show how and why accurate observations and predictions make you better at finding dinner. How the apparatus of seeking one particular dinner-based truth might have multi-use potential.

The trouble, really, is that it's a disingenuous argument. A person who assumes the truth of evolutionary processes in a criticism of their product as truth machines has already declined to endorse their own fundamental objection in at least one case. They're having or purporting to have a rational conversation with you as though it would be probative and accurate.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
