Be careful guys! The Darwinistas are well represented here on Freerepublic. I used to spar with them years ago, but they just wear you down with al thier consensus talk.

I was listening to John Batchelor this week and he sometimes has some hardcore lefties on, but he treats them seriously. This lady was Susan Brooks Thislethwaite, who is supposedly real big in the religous academic circles, but who really is just a big feminist, left wing commie. Among all her titles and chairs, she is the head of the religous co-option branch of the American Center for Progress. Need I say more? I was floored when she implied that creationist and anti-global warming people are very dangerous because there is a hidden political message or aspect to thier beliefs. To say this with a straight face as if global warming science and evolution have no political agenda whatsoever is the absolute height of gall and hypocrisy. I see right thru people like this. She also said that not voting for the Start Treaty was Immoral. Ha, Ha, Ha, No politics in that morality, right?

To me, if evolution is true and there is no God, then nothing else matters. We are beasts of the field. Human suffering is meaningless and greed and hate are the same thing as love and compassion. Just different meaningless electrical signals in the brain that flow outward into the meaningless void.

Francis Schaeffer did a fairly thorough job of demonstrating that your remark is true not only for you, but really for everyone. If this is all here due to time+chance+(fill in the blank, energy, mass, matter, etc.), then nothing has any meaning, anyway. No basis for morality exists and confidence in knowledge is unsupportable. The bizarre abnormality is that those hoping there is no God care so passionately about proving that their lives have no point. Hmmm. Who exactly is dangerously deranged?

These two are not mutually exclusive.

If you look at it, you'll see that we are still evolving. It just mostly software now. Hardware will follow.
