Opinions on my drive to be an atheist
#97
RE: Opinions on my drive to be an atheist
It brings up the odd situation where god creates humans with a powerful sexual drive which can be satisfied in a number of ways, then restricts nearly all of them on pain of death. And the one method he does allow is equally restricted. We are to believe that he designed a system that can make us feel incredibly good, then turns it into a trapdoor leading to a pit of spikes in a room full of gasoline into which he is ready to toss a lit match. It's utterly backwards and the sort of thing that would occur only to a truly sadistic person.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould
