I wrote these comments at Natural Selection; Creationism vs. Evolution:
"Why shouldn't there be a God, why is evolution so right, why doesn't the Bible have anything to say?"
God is just another word for magic. Magic is a childish idea.
Evolution is right because massive powerful evidence shows beyond any doubt it's right. For example every single time molecular biologists compare DNA sequences of modern human apes and modern chimpanzee apes they can see with their own eyes the evolutionary relationship between these two ape species. People are still apes by the way, which is a basic fact of biology that can be found in any encyclopedia.
Christian science deniers invoke a "common magic man" instead of a common ancestor. The reality deniers don't know what they're talking about. The childish "common designer" idea can't explain ERVs and Human Chromosome Two. Christians spread lies about this evidence anyway but they aren't fooling the world's biologists.
Biologists keep saying "study the evidence, there's tons of it" while science deniers refuse to look at it because they don't want to make their dead Jeebus cry. All evolution deniers are willfully ignorant.
"Why doesn't the Bible have anything to say?"
The Bible has plenty to say about the god fairy's love for genocide but decent people are not interested.
It's 2001, not 1001. Join us here in the 21st century. Don't be afraid. Reality means there's no magical heaven but throwing out your childish fantasies will help you better appreciate the real heaven you live in right now. It's called "Earth" and thanks to billions of years of natural processes it's a paradise. Only greedy people would wish for something more.
There's tons of evidence for evolution and there's exactly zero evidences for a magical god.
There is no debate about evolution. Evolution is not an opinion. Reality is not a viewpoint. Reality is what it is. It's called evolution and it's how the world works. Pretending there's some debate about the foundation of biology (evolution) and the most important basic fact of science (evolution) is equivalent to saying there's a debate about whether or not the earth is flat, which by the way is why biologists call evolution deniers "flat-earthers".

as a former professor of mine used to say (usually after faculty meetings!) "Sometimes losing battles are the only ones worth fighting."
ReplyDeleteJust remember the lurkers. Some of them may change their minds, especially when they see their "team" has nothing to offer but idiocy and the occasional ancient quotation.
p.s. well said!
ReplyDeleteIf I ever do convince a lurker to accept reality I hope that person says hello or something.
