In what way. You’re going to say I somehow worship it. High temperatures cause fire. Water drowns air breathing animals, when something follows another with consistency, we are talking about factual cause and effect, not belief. Facts are true, that’s the definition.

For starters:

1. The facts you mention are not associated with a high level of emotional investment in the way religious beliefs are (religions such as Christianity or Darwinism). That is, there’s a category difference between factual belief and heartfelt belief.

2. Natural selection is made into more than just a mechanism—it’s treated (often without the evolutionist fully realizing it on a conscious level) as though it has agency.
