Dawkins tries to do exactly htis by insinuating that there is no spirit, and that any such thoughts are mearely due to a mutaiton which keeps people ignorant apparently- He beleives that belief in God is due to a virus (which he also beleives, beleive it or not, that it can be spread by coughing or sneezing). Nat Geo, the Discovery channel, PBS and hte History Channel ALL tryto inject their brand of theology into evolution all the time- As do a great many scientists that beleive in Macroevolution- their god however is nature that apparently is capable of the doing hte impossible- But heaven forbid Creationists bring up the metaphysical, and point to the spirit and higher knowledge coming from the Holy spirit, in ADDITION to discussing hte physical evidences seen in nature- Why then they are branded as ‘daft’ for doing so- What’s ‘good for’ the Goose, apparently isn’t good for hte Gander
Evos and Dawkins feel that they are in a position to bring the metaphysical into the discussion when it comes to pronouncements that there is no God, the demand for presuming methodical naturalism, or where the belief in the supernatural even comes from (viruses? Give me a break...), but go into a tailspin when non-evos bring up anything that smacks of intelligence, design, or a creator.
Seems like they think they are somehow the only ones qualified to speak on the metaphysical when it concerns science even when they know (and admit) that they have no basis for any of their pronouncements.
The hypocrisy is staggering.
At this point I cannot help but bring hosepipe's point to bear.
(Paraphrased) those like Dawkins - a notorious atheist - who believe that faith in God is the result of evolution are only proving that they are themselves under-evolved.
