but they are statements without substance.

Really? Have you ever read the statements in reverence of evolution? The "Infinite wisdom" of evolution? The "Grand design" of evolution? The "Mother Earth" BS? It IS a religion. Just as much a religion as Protestantism, Jehovah's Witness, Mormons, Wicca, New Age, Buddhism, Taoism, Communism (Yes, it is a religion. It espouses itself as the end all of everything.) And hundreds of others. Besides.. take evolution to it's logical extent and what do you have? Life is nothing more than an accident. Thus you are an accident. Thus what you do doesn't matter. Thus your whole life doesn't matter. Thus it doesn't matter whether you live or die. So suicide means nothing either. What a cheap way of looking at life. It makes abortion more palatable, as the life you're snuffing is insignificant anyway! How deplorable. And how typical of 99.9999999% of those espousing evolution as their god.

I have no idea what you're talking about. It certainly isn't evolution. You might find it instructive to read a text on the subject -- not a rant written by some ignorant gadfly, but a book written by a biologist for the purpose of introducing the topic to the public. There are hundreds that will do the job. Then at least you'll understand that evolution is a well-grounded biological phenomenon, not a cult of mystics.

Oh geez, here we go with the "it cheapens life" deal.

Sorry, to me if we are an accident, then it makes life that much more precious, because if we destroy ourselves now, no matter, god will just start over again and build a new world. But what if it is indeed a cosmic accident? What if we are truly unique in the universe, what if life only evolves on 1 out of a million worlds, and our civilization is 1 out of a Billion that actually exist. It tells me that we are even more precious then we were before, it is our responsibility to survive and prosper.

Evolution does not cheapen life, on the contrary, it makes it even more precious.
