Well, as I'm sure you know Darwin didn't theorize about the origins of life and I don't think anyone rational would claim that we aren't to some degree the product of variation and natural selection.
I'm not sure where you're going with this, though.
I assume you believe God imprinted a morality on our souls, but I don't see why that has to be at odds with natural selection. Couldn't He have chosen to do that when we were at some point along the evolutionary path?
I guess I don't see why natural selections precludes God from giving us our values.
RE: Well, as I’m sure you know Darwin didn’t theorize about the origins of life and I don’t think anyone rational would claim that we aren’t to some degree the product of variation and natural selection.
I’m talking about RANDOM variation without purposeful guidance from a higher mind. This is what I’m trying to point at ( and this is related to the article as well ).
Even if God followed some natural selection process, it has to be GUIDED somehow.
Now, if you are saying that God is involved in this natural selection process via His providence, then we have a basis for believing in the preamble of Declaration of Independence and all the moral points that come with it.
But I don’t think this is what Darwinists like Richard Dawkins is saying.
