Quote from outblaze:
quote:
One definition for religion is "A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion."
So, this is one definition? Hmm, why did you choose this one? What do the others say?
Why do you say this fits evolution? Is evolution a cause? No. Is it a principle? Yes. Is it an activity? I don't think so. Is it pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion? Not at all.
Why do you seem to think it is? Ah, I see, you are confused between how you view origins with how scientists view origins. Just because you pursue your religion with zeal, you think that evolutionists do the same with evolution. They don't.
Does this help clear things up for you?
