Wow. Pretty strong words. I was just trying to have a friendly conversation. Anyway, GGG answered my question in a way that makes me think that he is, at least, no troll.

As for “brainwashed by charlatan superstition”, I wonder how many “atheists” really know that much science. I suspect very few. They aren’t really “atheists” at all, but (given the fact that they don’t really understand evolution or how it works) merely acolytes of what is for them a new religion. Which is, I think, at least one of GGG’s points.

Not that I agree with his underlying argument. I’m just talking about the vast unwashed majority of “atheists” who look down their noses at “superstition” but, in fact, wouldn’t know a biological adaptation from a spandrel of San Marco.

Everything that is alive is a biological adaptation.
