The Religious Nature of Evolution, or Lack Thereof

quote:

---

The point is that religion necessarily involves details about the supernatural

What about scientology?

quote:

"over billions of years"
Where did you get the idea that any one think that the origin of life took billions of years? This is simply wrong.

1 - 1.5 billion maybe ....

OK ... borderline, in that the religion itself doesn't
claim 'supernatural agency' but 'highly advanced agency'.Hmm .... that sounds like IDer thinking.

I thought all religions were created for financial
reasons ....

The bit about 'anything that you can interact with and use isn't supernatural' is a bit weird ... but I see the point.That would tend to mean that supernatural doesn't exist at all -- simply because you defined it out of existence -- which is a neat trick when you think about it.

4.5 Billion year old earth .... 3.5 billion year old, oldest life forms ... oh, hang on, I forgot about the flood sorting all the fossils, and that light used to travel a lot faster, and the world is only 4500 years old ... Doh!!
