The Evolution of Religion
#4
RE: The Evolution of Religion
[rant]

I hate to be a stickler for accuracy but it's not 'evolution' is it; rather it's 'change'.

Sorry but misuse of the word 'evolution' to mean 'change' is a pet peeve of mine, especially when creatards use the word to misrepresent it (e.g. 'stella evolution' Angry).

I recommend that before using the word 'evolution' people consider this simple test:

1. might one be able to calculate equivalents/analogues of allele frequencies
2. might one be able to state their equivalents/analogues of cladistics/phylogeny

If 'yes', you're justified in using the word 'evolution' as an analogy.
If 'no', it's just 'change'.
