It seems you've stirred up the pot and raised some eyebrows, Pete.

"I can always find a quote from an evolutionist that admits it is a religious position, ..."

Well, if you can find such a quote, it proves nothing. At that point the word "admits" becomes the issue. "Admits" implies a whole lot more than "claims" or "asserts".

SOME things just DEPEND ON INDIVIDUAL PERSPECTIVE.... but words have to mean something. A 'religious perspective' is about religion... evolution is about having opinions that are NOT specifically religious. If all you mean is that you can find folks who accept evolution, but also believe in a god... sure... but then the point is that it is possible to BE religious and also accept evolution.
