Critique of Ann Coulter's The Church of Liberalism: Godless

quote:

---

Either that or someone who has wrapped up their livelihood in the theory of evolution, one could scarcely believe that someone could betray all of their life's work....

---

Actually, a biologist (and a geologist, and other scientists) has wrapped up their livelihood in trying to understand how the real world works by comparing the current theories to the available evidence. I can scarcely believe that someone would betray their life's work by dogmatically holding onto an idea that is not supporting by the available evidence.

Without evolution there is no god reason to be an atheist.

Eh? This one again? This is fundamentally untrue. I'll let schraf explain how evolution has little to do with atheism (many evolutionary scientists being definitely not atheists). I'll just let you know that my atheism does not in any way require the theory of evolution. I would be as happy an atheist without the theory of evolution as I am with it.I believe that there are some threads on this already if you want to discuss it.Edited by Chiroptera, : Added the last sentence of the first paragraph.
