Oh my betty, you really dont know me, nor what or how much I know about the subject matter at hand. Ironically, you sound much like Bill Nye there. My kids are fine, more than fine, but thanks for the concern. God bless you.
From the above statements, I don't see in what way I "sound much like Bill Nye." I strongly disagree with these statements. Rather I would ask: The "right answers" — about what?
Where is life and mind in Darwin's theory? It seems to posit these as epiphenomena of random material change, plus natural selection (nature being viewed as a "just-so" material system). But think about it: Does that really make sense?
BTW, how can evolution be the “fundamental idea in all of life science, in all of biology," when it has absolutely nothing to say about what life IS, or how it arose? And ditto for mind (psyche, or consciousness).
Perhaps science hasn't got a method to address this issue. But that doesn't make such questions "go away."
Anyhoot, please don't take my criticism personally. I was only responding to certain statements you made, which are typical of a person who holds the "accepted dogma." I was merely trying to point out that science could do itself a whole lot of good by questioning its presuppositions from time to time.
May God bless you and your kids!
