DG, at what point do evolutionists believe that a “god” had to have intervened for things to proceed? Oh, there is no point, is there? Thus, the naturalists are merely promoting an empty, despairing view of the history of life. They think that you “Christian evolutionists” are deluding yourselves, and I believe they are right. If only these High Priests of Darwinism could point to scientific evidence to support what they think, I could accept that there is more than religiously hostile speculation at work. Blessings, Bob

First, I can’t get angry with someone named alstewartfan, since Al is my favorite musician on the planet by far.

But there is no such thing as “Darwinists”. It’s apparently a pejoritive term to try to paint the science of evolution as a cult centered around a historical figure. That’s unfair and a cheap shot.

If you’re a believer in gravity, are you a “Newtonian”? If you like to drive a car made on an assmebly line a “Henry Fordian”?

You want to paint evolution as a religion. It’s not. It’s science. Now it’s fair to attempt to argue that it’s flawed science, but it is wholly inaccurate to paint it as a cult or religion. So stop it.

If evolution is held out as science, then it obviously can and should be challenged using those methods that science uses. If it can’t stand the scientific scrutiny, then it should be rejected. That’s all fair.

So far, it’s seemed to withstand those challenges, although it certainly has been forced to modify some conclusions along the way. That’s fine, and it also shows that it is science and not religion. Science is not afraid to change its mind, but religion is.

All it takes is some new evidence that makes sense.
