Modern evolutionary theory is not empirical science but rather a metaphysical project favored by humans who reject the Triune God as Father and prefer instead to imagine themselves the uncreated product of unseen energies working on matter. Darwin is not the father of the evolutionary project, that distinction belongs to ancient Sumerians whose cosmogony, Enuma Elish, declares the evolution of the gods from Apsu. Likewise, the Egyptian Sun god Ra describes his evolution from Nu
Naturalists of course are going to agree with modern evolutionary theory, because they have to. But they also have much bigger problems with their philosophy which are intractable, so I consider it irrelevant.
Still if someone wishes to study evolution within a naturalistic framework, I won't argue with them. If they try to convince me that evolution means Naturalism is real, or even a rational plausible view, then I will be ready and willing to argue.
Well said.
I excelled in actual hard science, and garnered two awards in same (along with multiple awards in mathematics). Yet I am called anti-science because I dispute the dark fantasy that is a result of the rejection of God the Creator.
Macro-Evolution is non-replicable; it is therefore not a verifiable theory.
