The religious implications of evolution

Every biologist in the world agrees magic god fairies never had anything to do with the diversity of life, including when the first simple living cells got a foothold on earth almost four billion years ago, and including the evolution of millions of new species since then. No god and no magic was necessary for any of it.

Even religious biologists don't stick their magic fairy into biology. I suppose they stick their god of the gaps into some other branch of science. They disgrace their profession but there's very few of them so they are not worth taking about.

Charles Darwin got the whole thing started so I give him the credit for ridding the world of supernatural bullshit.

If you're a Bible thumping evolution denier you can leave now. I didn't write this post for drooling morons.

There are some Christians who accept the foundation of biology but they pollute it with their fairy as if magic is one of the mechanisms of evolution. Christians, you can't stick your supernatural fantasies into any branch of science. When you do that anyway you are demonstrating your stupidity, so what's the point? Either accept biology as pure science or stay out of it.

If you accept evolution without your fairy's magic wand but you're still a Christian, you're nuts, you're lying to yourself. If your dead Jeebus was not necessary for the development of species, what could he have possibly been necessary for? Don't you think it's childish to stick your dead worthless preacher man in some other branch of science?

For example you superstitious idiots like to stick your fairy into what you think is a safe hiding place, just before the Big Bang. What's the point? You have no evidence for magic then or any other time in the Universe's history. You are saying "I don't understand therefore magic."

Nothing could possibly be more amazing than the scientific fact that millions of species developed from the first simple living cells. Not even the beginning of the universe could have been as complicated as what natural selection has accomplished. If you don't stick your fairy of the gaps into biology it has no business in any other branch of science.

The solution is obvious. Just grow up and throw out Christianity (or whatever cult you belong to). Join the normal people living in the 21st century. Don't be afraid.

This quote from a comment on PZ's blog is appropriate here:

It takes nothing more than a child of a few years to understand the incompatibility of understanding how the world works as opposed to essentially Santa Claus type thinking. It is a matter of honesty to admit that someone being raised from the dead is not a belief compatible with what we know of in science or that the myriad of religious beliefs from around the world are simply not square with the scientific knowledge of the day. It is rank dishonesty to pretend that science and religion are compatible while trying to backdoor tons of material as 'outside' the realm of science. -- KevinB
