I will not reference you as a Darwinist, as you please.

You are a self-proclaimed non expert on the subject (Dawinian evolution, or, if you please Neodarwinian evolution) and claim you will not be arrogant, yet you were, shall we say, dismissive in your post 102, 95, and 140 to your correspondents. In your post 133 you even referenced your faith.

As far as you know there are no supernatural forces, but as far as you know there might be supernatural forces. There may be metaphysical truths, such as, there are other minds than yours out here in the universe.

You say your point of view is meaningful only on what matters are true. I applaud that. I hope you will continue with that psychodynamic. Truth….we will get that that later. Since it matters to you, you will not take offense at the truth.

You reference Knowledge as expanding most thoroughly through rigid scientific scholarship and not common sense or comforting thoughts. Good! We have made great progress in this pronouncement. I think your last sentence you reserve as a 'get out of jail card' statement. Perhaps we can unpack that notion, too. It is, again, as in your post 133 a statement of faith. We need to examine that notion, as it, no double, ks is part of the tool you use to arrive at your conclusions….evolution or not.

I’m not so arrogant to claim I know truth, but I guess arrogant enough to dismiss preposterous ideas not backed up by science or logic. I didn’t write a couple of those posts you referenced though.

“There may be metaphysical truths, such as, there are other minds than yours out here in the universe.”

There could be lots of things one could imagine. Just because you can imagine it doesn’t mean it exists.

Again, post 133 is not me. I am not of the clearest mind at this hour, but I don’t remember posting anything about my faith.

“we will get that that later” and “We have made great progress”

I’m afraid you are going to be disappointed.
