Probably the same FReepers who call Biblical Fundamentalists "savages." It's interesting, of course, that the technology that makes the postmodern Bible scorner's life so easy was set in motion by stupid, benighted Bible believers like Newton and Boyle and Cauchy.
Will they draw any conclusions from the fact that these laudable fellow practitioners of infanticide, the Yanomani, are the most primitive and violent crew of heathen remaining on earth (other than Planned Parenthood)?
I doubt it.

It's really the main reason why to me, evolution IS intelligent design and is true to Christianity and God. There is nothing in evolution that negates the bibles' validity, but quite a lot that validates it. God works His wonders in strange and mysterious ways.That's funny. People who accept everything about evolution except that it is random, purposeless, and unguided are sneered at as "creationists in disguise." Yet these same people turn around and insist that evolution "doesn't exclude G-d."
So G-d doesn't guide evolution, but He is not excluded by it. Just what kind of G-d are we talking about here? The "gxd" of eighteenth century deists?
That's some neat trick--using evolution to create without guiding it.
I don't believe in just any "gxd." I believe in a very specific G-d. And I am a former chr*stian, not a current one.

They'll probably defend them as beyond the critique of western science and rationalism (unlike "rednecks") and not only defend their practices as equal to that of any other (again, a courtesy they don't extend to "rednecks") but then turn around and claim that this is another beautiful "indigenous" culture that mercifully managed to be spared "genocide" by the murderous followers of the Biblical G-d. Oops, and where did that "cultural relativism" of theirs suddenly go?

To say that the principles of evolution pretend to address creation and they are based on what is random, purposeless, and unguided, reveals root ignorance of the mechanisms of natural selection and observations of Darwin and paleontological science. There is nothing random about natural selection. The opposite, in fact.
I am a Christian and believe in God and have no qualms about writing His name in full -- God, no dashes or other items.
Who said God doesn't guide evolution? Not me. Nor would I say that God didn't set up the mechanisms of our solar system. To my way of thinking, it and evolution are systems set in place that carry out God's will and we must adjust our behavior accordingly to adapt to that system. The Bible tells us how to adapt our behaviour to God's laws. I do say that there's a very comforting consistency in Survival of the Fittest, natural selection/evolutionary principles, and the demonstrated fact that human societies that select Biblical guidelines for survival have thrived while those that have rejected it have failed.
Evolution IS intelligent design by God.

I didn’t mean it as a criticism, but there is a reason for it and it goes back thousands of years.

This puts it out in the open. I’m afraid he’s not alone.
(However the professor of the anthropology course I took
years ago forthrightly said this was one way those cultures
were worse than ours — not that ours was perfect — and
to be aware of what some of his colleagues meant when they
spoke of respecting other cultures.
