And what do many "evolutionists" watch on TV? Are they partial to CSI or Desperate Housewives? You can bring in whatever outside claims you want, but the fact remains that the theory of evolution has NOTHING, one way or other, to do with the prospect of life after death, anymore than it deterimines what television programs, beach reading or sports teams evolutionary biologists are partial to.
Put another way, what other choice would a good atheist have, other than the Modern Synthesis, to prop up his belief?
So you're saying that because some atheists support evolution, that therefore all evolutionists are atheists? I'm confused, not the least because I consider myself to be religious.
No. Not all evolutionists are atheists, but all atheists are evolutionists. If the dogma that humankind is simply the result of chemical and biological accidents has no more import or consequense than television programs, beach reading or sports teams, then why are these threads so many, so long and hotly debated, and why is this even an issue in society at large? The strong currents are under the surface.
Cordially,
