Do you even know what a religion is? Please explain to me how the theory of evolution is a religion.
FYI , atheism has nothing to do with evolution or religion for that matter. Trying to connect them in the way that you are is dishonest.
The title of this thread is - "Atheism...the religion of...science? "
Again - My point was that science is not the religion of atheism,
if anything is it would be evolution and that evolution is not the be all and end all of science.
I didnt make a connection between atheism and its "religion" just continuing the theme of the thread, you just dont like my answer so you call me dishonest.
Id say that
if anything is it would be evolution because it is followed dogmatically with plennty of "just so" stories to try and save it from those skeptical of it, contrary to popular opionion i believe it takes alot of faith to believe the theory and that many believe if with such a passion that the evidence dosnt warrant - these are some of the parallels between some of those who follow a religion and some of those who believe in evolution.
This is why i said if anything was the religion of atheism i think evolution would be.
And besides do you really believe that for most atheists evolution donst play a part in their worldview, if so id say your being incredibly ignorant.
Why would people such as dawkins make comments like - "Darwin made
it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist"? Also i know that if i didnt believe in a creator then id still want to know how we got here, evolution would be an obvious choice to try and fill my quest for answers.
