The direction of our view -- up or down -- determines our behavior. If, as the gravitation religion teaches, they only look down towards the center of a body of mass, they will remain rooted to the ground. This is more than apparent by watching and reading the daily news, for such behavior is paramount today (plane crashes, building collapses, bombs falling, etc.)makes no suggestion of a course of action
LEARN SOME FRIGGIN HISTORY ALREADY.
A) Evolution is not a religion
Evolution is not a religion. It´s the prosaic explanation of what things really are, that we´re not special in any way in the natural world. And what the fuck?, if I die, at least I would have lived a plenty life with the people I really loved and profited. Who cares what comes afterwards?
you think that evolution is a stupid "religion" then lets look at some common christian beliefs:
Actually, most people who accept evolution probably look forward, to how much better man might become (we might finally get rid of that damn instinctive brutality and viciousness, for example). It's a little thing called extrapolation.
So called "big" questions become that way because they are unanswerable, or have subjective answers. Evolution is science, therefore it only attempts to answer questions with real, objective answers.
Evolution explains only that, in a very far away past, there was a common ancestor to monkeys and us, not that we have to be monkeys.
So, you don't look backwards to a musty old book of myths, written by desert-dwelling goat herders?
Evolution is Biology, not religion, stupid.
What questions is evolution supposed to answer? It describes the process for diversity and adaptation of living organisms, through random mutations and natural selection. Each and every species IS important, as it's part of an almost infinite net of dependence to almost every other species on Earth, some way or the other. The recycling is meaningful, as we provide nutrition to other living things.
But what if we don't set aside a day a week to worship Darwin? What if it isn't a religion?
Evolution is merely a statement of historical FACT. Without it, nothing in biology makes sense.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
