I can't tell if this person is for or against reality, but he understands the religious implications of evolution.

Here's what he said. I wrote one comment.


Unfortunately, when Pastor Gary McCaslin says that it is possible to believe in God and evolution at the same time, he is missing the whole point of Darwinism.

Charles Darwin's contention was that the appearance of design in nature can be accounted for through natural selection. In other words, in his view there is no such thing as "intelligent design." As Professor Jerry A. Coyne put it in his book "Why Evolution Is True," "The message of evolution, and all of science, is one of naturalistic materialism. Darwinism tells us that, like all species, human beings arose from the working of blind, purposeless forces over eons of time."

What kind of religion, then, is compatible with naturalistic materialism? Only one from which all the supernatural elements have been thoroughly expunged. There can be no creation, no providence and no divine revelation. There is no humanity created in the image of God, no divine-human Savior, no redemption and no resurrection. This may be compatible with modern science, but it is certainly not Christianity. All we are left with is a distant, unknowable God unable to intervene in human history. Is it any wonder, then, that so many evolutionists are atheists?

"Is it any wonder, then, that so many evolutionists are atheists?"

Actually they are called "biologists" and yes, virtually all biologists are atheists.

So what?
