I have through observation and discussion discovered that the removal of even the mere notion of a higher being is considered attractive to "some" people because they can live with a free albeit numbed or diminished conscience in this area at least.
I don't find a removal of God attractive. I just find that He doesn't exist.
I've looked for God, I've asked for God, I've prayed to God and I remain open to accepting God.
I've just never heard from God. I think it's because He doesn't exist.
In most of those cases their answer to life is that they go with science as opposed to Christianity for example, in the context that science becomes almost a belief system or religion to them.
I don't have an answer to life. I'm not sure if anyone does.
I also don't think that there can really be just one answer. And if so, it would have to be so general as to be useless. People are different. There are lots of people. There are vast differences. One thing such as "the answer to life" just isn't going to work for all people.
I mean, there's not even one flavour of ice-cream that works for all people. Why would you expect something as grand as the answer to life itself to be simpler than ice-cream? I would guess that such a thing would be rather comlplex, not simple.
Do evolutionists posses a religious zeal in their defence of the theory of evolution, and if so why?
I don't.
But it certainly seems to be a much better answer for the diversity of living creatures over God and the Bible.
Evolution at least tries to deal with all the information we're learning over time as we advance through our lives. God and the Bible kinda stopped learning about stuff at least a few hundred years ago. Sort of an "old and busted" vs. "new hotness" idea.
