Darwin converted to Islam

When I first read the title of this thread I thought it read "Dawkins converted to Islam" and I was like "WTF???"

Well if I read that I wouldn't believe it for 1 fucking minute of course

He wants a tape recorder at his bed when he dies for proof he didn't have a deathbed conversion LOL - doens't wanna have lies told about him like they were about Darwin (and like they are on this thread funnily enough lol).

That would only be slightly more far-fetched than the claim that Darwin was a muslim.

haha - well I think, quite a bit more far-fetched actually (I think anyway) - BUT the Darwin muslim thing is still EXTREMELY ridiculous lol

Dawkins would have to get some SERIOUS case of Alzeimers ...and even THEN - it's still probably bloody unlikely that he'd necessarily take up THAT delusion, and specifically THAT religion too!

Lol

Well it may be a surprise but in the case of Darwin I had the same reaction.

I think it's quite funny how they refer to the "code" in the qu'ran that describes human evolution then provide no link to it, or even briefly describe what it says.

EvF, I think that's totally necessary, when RD dies, it can be almost guaranteed that stories about his deathbed conversion will circulate.

Even with a tape, classic theist logic could be used... "Well he didn't convert to definitely-not-christianity, so that's a valid reason to believe he was a christian"

I think I wanna do it TOO! Even though I'm not famous - even if just for kicks! lol.

LOL - how the fuck would that work though lol? If you're an atheist you don't believe in God or Jesus as anything more than just a man - so you can't be Christian! If you're an atheist you ARE by definiton - a 'definitely-not-christian'!

UNLESS you are including simply a CULTURAL Christian. BUT - the hypothetical Christians calling him that would be meaningless - because Dawkins ALREADY calls himself a CULTURAL Christian because 'we live in a Christian culture here', etc. I've heard him say it!

Which of course has nothing to do with actually believing it.

They could try and find a loop-hole but they'd have to be even MORE pathetic because they'd have fuck-all to go by.

So...? Hm. Lol

That was the point

lol, it was a joke referencing the old "no evidence means its just as likely something exists as not exists"

Don't read so much into it, not that much thought went into it

I stopped at the first paragraph. Anyone blame me?

Yes!!!

I managed two so obviously I consider you to be ... er ... er ... er ... I'm sure there's a word for it somewhere.
