Thread Name: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
Subject: RE: BS: Special thread on Evolution & religion
I wouldn't say that I deny the *possibility* of deity, it's just not a *reasonable* hypothesis if you actually have an education.

I don't have any belief in anything supernatural, and haven't since I was too old for Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny. Don't remember ever believing in ghosts or ghoulies or things that go Bump! in the night on purpose. But were actual evidence for it (such that you wouldn't need faith to believe) to start appearing, I would adjust that conclusion along with any other critical thinker.

However, or furthermore, I also do not see any reason in today's world to pretend that it's reasonable for people to attribute anything we actually do know how it works, to deity.

I think people should not be permitted to "protect" their beliefs by avoiding reality.

I do not believe that freedom of religion means freedom from education.

I think keeping evolution out of science in K-12 education is child abuse and should not be allowed.

Any mollycoddling of these ridiculous beliefs is tantamount to betraying humanity, and it IS betraying our intelligence.
