Okay, I'm not supporting God or speaking against the idea of evolution in general.
However, I DO have a problem with some evolutionary approaches-- they are often based on what I'd call a "plausible narrative" rather than actual science. Some narratives are so compelling that you'd almost call them obvious: like giraffes growing longer necks because they are competing for foliage high in trees. The problem is that a smart person can make a plausible narrative about absolutely anything, and then convince himself that this narrative represents reality: "OCD exists because during early human development, ____."
Is this really different, though, than a Greek theist who made what he thought was a plausible description of how things in our world were created by gods?
