Is macroevolution a religion? Should we rename it evolutiontarianism?

To: JonFThe US Constitution has a reference to Jesus, but no reference to atheism. The Constitution says, "in the year of our Lord". Why would I want to overthrow the US Constitution which was exclusively or at a bare minumum predominently authored and signed by theist rather than professed atheist? Also, do not forget shortly after the constitution was signed, the government authorized a senate chaplain (I believe it was in the 1780's). If I wanted atheistic government I would move to North Korea.Sincerely,Ken[This message has been edited by kendemyer, 03-22-2004]

I believe the darwin fish show that some evolutionist are zealots who wish to preach their message. It is like a false religion. I would say that darwinism is window dressing for materialism that has no real empirical support. I simply do not see this type of group behavior manifest by other pseudoscience/science areas that is so manifestly shown by darwinist and which can be readily seen by darwin fish. I realize the word religion has many meanings. I am using this one which is mentioned by http://www.dictionary.com:"A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion."I believe darwinism is a false religion.Sincerely,Ken

To: crashfrogI do not pretend to know all the motivations of all the individuals who have darwin fish on their cars although I know you have offered alledged anecdotal evidence which may possibly be true. I do know that the followers of darwinism promote/preach their belief via darwin fish on their cars. This is undeniable. It is obvious that many or all are snubbing a particular forms of religion via their fish. I would also say that perhaps they have other motivations as well. Again, it is undeniable that darwinism is being promoted and that certain forms of religious faith is being jabbed at. I do know this type of promotional/preaching behavior is not as widely done by other psuedoscience/science adherents via their cars. I have nothing further to say regarding this matter.Sincerely,Ken[This message has been edited by kendemyer, 03-24-2004]
