How do you observe, study or formulate religion?
I think that his post is obvious, you don't study, observe or formulate Christianity(which I assume is his/her religion)nor do you study, formulate or observe evolution.
This is the way I see it. I neither endorse evolution or ID.
I know, evos and christians will say I am lying but I believe it is the truth and here is how I see it: Religion is based on an invisible force, this force created all life on earth and accounts for the changes in the species. This force is all powerful and is taken on faith because there is little proof that this force exists. The force is called God.
Darwinism is base on an invisible force, this force created all life on earth and accounts for the changes in the species(phyla, order, family etc) and is all powerful and taken on faith because there is little proof that this force exists. The force is called evolution.
In both cases the force is what drives the universe, and of course life on earth, and is still manipulating things.
Christians readily admit that their force must be taken on faith, evos say that they have proof but fail to produce it, producing instead evidence that relies on speculation and theory. Saying things like "dinos were begining to experiment with flight during this period". This is a stupid statement because if evoluition is true, then the dinos, or any other speices, did not experiment with anything, it was thrust upon them by the mysterious force called evolution.
Both of these theories, and they are both theories, are based on faith, both are, basically, unproven, and both are a religion.
There is very little difference between Christianity and evolution. Actually, none if you study both theories and look at them closely. The over riding factor in both of them as far as I am concerned is that both of them are false. Neither have evidence that their theory is correct, neither prove anything. They are both wrong and I await the correct hypothesis of how life got here and how it changed over the millions of years the earth has been here, until then both christians and evos can suck an egg as far as I am concerned.
Easy. There are more than enough religions on the face of the earth to choose from. Studying them would include study of their history, their influence one society and their influence on individuals. Other studies may include personal testimonials of the reality of the belief system and objective evidence of the changes wrought in the lives of believers. Formula's could be devised in which which belief in God (A), plus obedience to God (B) = Happiness (C). A + B = C.
Piece of cake. :-)
