"One approach, if followed leads to a human race that evolves into a world of peace. The other leads to a human race that evolves into destruction.
Ironic, eh?"
It would appear that we're evolving into the latter, thus showing that a majority of the species have actually 'followed' the evolutionary conclusions of the latter approach...while claiming to follow the former, religious approach.
Unlike your point, this one isn't that ironic.

I have both. If you want a friend that doesn't eat its own poop, get a cat.

It's a little known fact that 74.69% of creationists own cats Tripper, meet PatrickHenry. PatrickHenry, meet Tripper.

To me, atheism is the only logical conclusion. Since Junior believes in a God but is still logical in all other regards, the only conclusion we can make is that his nuts is bigger than yours.

I'm what you would call a 'strong atheist'. To me the statement - There is no God - is just a statement of fact.

"Suppose there are two families trapped in a hurricane ravaged area. There is enough food and water to keep one family alive.
"What would Darwin's theory predict the behavior of Family A to be?
"1) Give the food to family B.
"2) Take the food for family A and let family B fend for themselves."
The evolutionarily successful tactic would be to save the food for the children of both families. What would the Christian solution be?

"So, based upon the theory espoused by some that forming social organizations is an advanced form of evolution... "Humans - evolved
"Cougars - not evolved
"House cats - perhaps evolved
"Dolphins - evolved
"Honey bees - evolved
"termintes - evolved
"I think this is made up. I think that humans recognize a moral value to other human's lives and that is why they value them, not for selfish survival needs
You are quite right, it is made up - by you.
No one ever said that evolution is more advanced in social animals. We said, if you would care to read the posts, that the evolutionary path taken by any given organism is based on different circumstances and is therefore different. One path is not 'more' or 'less' advanced than any other, just different.

"Our cat trained me to open the door for her so she can get in and out of the house. " My cat is trying to train me to fill her food bowl. She jumps on my lap, meows until I notice her, then runs over to her empty bowl. If I don't jump up right away she'll continue to repeat the action. Apparently, at least according to her, I'm too stupid to be easily trained.
