What would you call the attitude of a bunch of people in an art gallery looking at a masterpiece and the artist is standing next to this great painting. All the visitors exclaim and gasp over the painting. Some even propose "theories," about how the paint threw itself against the canvas and produced this beautiful work. All the while ignoring the artist and his pleas.

I guess I would call that total disrespect, if not outright hatred of the artist.

Part of what evolution is all about is to deny God as the creator...O, but in such a soft, reasonable sounding way. But hatred and denial are kissing cousins. You guys want it both ways. To seem so intelligent, so sophisticated, and yet you disguise, even to your own selves the distaste for a ever present, omnipotent (and here is the real problem) an MORAL God.

To whom all human beings will eventually answer. Including spitting in His face and denying him the wonder and awe due Him for this marvelous, incredible, and beautiful creation. The creation was made to point back to the creator, so that you in your dim little intellect might grasp the awe and splendor and beauty that IS in God.

Actually your sin is that you have dull and stupid minds incapable of wonder, too stingy to worship, and too self-centered to admit a mind greater than your own. You would rather revel in tedium and process, and pointless semantics over minutiae, rather than just enjoying the painting and getting to know the artist.

I suggest that you calm down a little, and wipe the spittle off your screen.

Apparently you not only know the mind of God. You also have the startling ability to see inside my mind, and the minds of other atheists, and believers who accept evolution (and want to use the intellects that they believe God gave them to further their knowledge of His creation). What incredible arrogance and presumption you exhibit. I can't speak for other rationalists who accept the scientific method, but you are dead wrong in almost every way in your assessment of my mental attitude.

Do you you have any actual arguments, or is empty hysterical rhetoric your speciality?

My observation stands. Evolution is an EXCUSE to NOT worship the creator. You have not invented anything new, Paul writes in Romans 2,000 years ago of men who did not want to retain the knowledge of God and that they were given over to reprobate minds to worship the creature instead of the creator.

What else do you call the moronic exaltation of biological processes over the discovery of the one that set the laws, and determined the processes? Your defensive reaction is proof enough that you were tagged in my last missive.

Men have rationalized evil since Cain. Intellect without faith always leads to error. Faith without intellect leads to fanaticism. Both must be married in the human heart. You evolutionists are just the other side of the coin as any religious fanaticism. Your psuedo-scientifc cult has produced the WORST in science, and is the bedrock philosophy of all the nihilism of the 20th century.

And you hold to this discredited theory with the same zeal as leaders of the inquisition held to their error, or current day mullahs hold to the error of Whabbism.
