No need to waste it on this simple fool.

Not exactly a statement supportive of your position, but considering how fundamentally weak and factually inaccurate your position is, I hardly call that surprising.

You claim that the theory of evolution makes fundamental assumptions regarding the origin and purpose of life. I'm not familiar with that particular theory. You, on the other hand, are arguing against it with such vigor that you must be fully conversant with it. I asked you once to state that theory and you demurred. I asked you again and you called me names. Is it really that unreasonable a request? Or could it be that you are aware of your own dishonesty, and seek to change the subject?

Surely you are not so uninformed as not to notice the naturalistic tendencies of those who imbibe the notions of evolution? The people who espouse this stuff: what do they believe to be the ultimate cause of existence as we know it? Are they silent about causes?

If indeed the theory of evolution has nothing to say about causation, that makes it even less worthy study or acceptance. If causation is attributed to nature alone, then a fundamental assumption has already been made: God has little or nothing to do with creation as we know it.

Those who make this assumption carry themselves with air of irresponsibility when it comes to higher things such as truth and honesty. The results are in plain view by virtue of your own dishonest words.

One may spout off all he wishes about theories within theories, theories about theories, and which particluar theory makes fundamental assumptions about the origin and purpose of life.The hair-splitting sophistry is irksome. A studious avoidence of plain honesty and truth has marked your discourse from the start.

We're not dealing with a particular theory here. It's a belief system. A mindset. A worldview more stupid than a simple fool like me.

But I'm not such a simple fool as to think you really seek a short summary of a particular theory of evolution. You seek to make a bigger fool of me than I already am, and I can do that just fine on my own.

"Or could it be that you are aware of your own dishonesty . . .

I will gladly bear the arbitrary label of "dishonest" if, in exchange, I may forego an attempt to satisfy the voracious apetite of an intellectual black hole.
