Evolution isn't a religion. It's a scientific theory.

My morality vastly exceeds that purported in the bible, I need no excuses since I'm not afraid of death, I'm not a christian IOW.

If you weren't afraid of death, you would be dead.

The point is not to be without fear, but to engage fear consistently - to produce the fruits of fearing correctly.

Because you say "I am not afraid", you continue to have guilt that you have not been afraid enough.

What if I said "belief" isn't a science? You would laugh in my face? Am I that kind of fool?

The point is that without design, you are without foundation to make changes to your species.

You might not want to be the species you were, but there is no reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.

We are a very successful species, why would you want to change it?

You sound afraid to answer me?

Should we all sing kumbuyah to the smoking Evolutionary gun?

Something that made sense is beginning to slip, if you think accusing me of nonsense is somehow your privilege, even more so!

No, it's because you're talking nonsense. You cannot equivocate the theory of evolution with religion. They are not the same thing. They are compatible. But they are not the same thing.

I think this is basically the foundation I am asking for. You grant that this is a "subjective Evolution"?

No, it's just reading a very old story about the actions of Jacob and finding a plausible explanation.

In this case selective breeding, which is a common farming technique that demonstrates some of the mechanisms of evolution.

It does, but my point is that evolution is absolutely demonstrable right now, regardless of historical points.

It's easy to keep people who accept evolution accountable... just ask if they have evidence for their points.

I dispute your point about the Bible being effective in keeping Creationists accountable. For example on this forum we have variations of Young Earth Creationists, Old Earth Creationists and Flat Earth Believers all who use their interpretation to justify their belief.

I am happy to hear your comments, on first impressions.

Thanks.

I always try to make a bad impression on the ladies, so they'll stop pestering me.
