I think it’s even more amusing that you take it that way. I was merely stating a simple truth about religious Darwinism:

Darwin’s House: A Religious Shrine?

“An article quoted Darwin scholar James Moore saying, ‘Muslims go to Mecca, Christians go to Jerusalem, Darwinians go to Downe.’ This seems to equate Darwinians with believers in a religion, but Nature quoted this proudly.”

And let’s not forget Richard Dawkins, a scientists who speaks for millions of the Darwinist faithful:

“In 2005 online magazine ‘Edge The World Question Centre’ posed the following question to a number of scientific intellectuals: ‘What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?’ Dawkins revealingly answered: ‘I believe that all life, all intelligence, all creativity and all ‘design’ anywhere in the universe, is the direct or indirect product of Darwinian natural selection.’”

Sounds like religion to me-—GGG

I see. So going to the home of a famous person makes one a religious follower of same person? When I went to the home of O. Henry, I became an O. Henry-ist? All visitors to Graceland are Elvisists?

As for Dawkins' comment, stating a belief in something which can't be proven does not a religious zealot make.

And again, your attempts to disparage evolution by calling it a "church" or a "religion" (ostensibly to connote a mindlessness in its acceptance) is not only ironic, but pretty d@mned insulting to religious people. I guess the ones on your side are willing to look the other way when being insulted by one of their own. For the greater good and all that.
