Can you not see that you simply 'begged the question' as to whether you and your stated belief that 'most real scientists you know' (fallacy of appeal to popular opinion noted) are, in fact, real scientists? A scientist relies on observation and testing. There is simply no way to scientifically observe and test the claim that 'evolution resultd in sapient and sentient species'. You pile fallacy on top of fallacy on top of fallacy and claim it is 'science'. It is not. That is purely a philosophical position, not a scientific one.
"You may choose to believe that sapient and sentient species do not exist."
Another strawman fallacy where you try to imply what I may believe. As I said, fallacy on top of fallacy on top of fallacy.
"As I've said, I really don't get into all of that existentialist nonsense aka philosophy."
The fact is that philosophy and logical fallacy are the bulk of your position.
Again, your lack of understanding of the scientific method and flat-out refusal to believe the voluminous evidence of geology, the fossil record, astrophysics, modern biology, and several other scientific disciplines do not make science into a "philosophical position."
