Moral Absolutes Ping.
Normally I avoid evolution/creationism threads like the plague, but this article kind of stood out. I admit I didn't read the whole thing - too late at night with my eyes at half mast.
BTW, my understanding of creationism doesn't include the earth being only 6000 years old; but that's neither here nor there. The important point, I believe, in these matters is this:
If life evolved from non-life, in a basically accidental and random manner, with no oversight from the Supreme Being, then life is meaningless. Is this true? Does this philosophy cause people to be hopeless and depressed, and search only for immediate sense flashes since there is no life after death, no soul, and no purpose to the universe?
Or are we better served by not clinging to the Darwinist evolutionary beliefs just because everyone else who matters does, and we'll be considered religious wingnuts if we don't agree? Aren't we better served if we open our minds to finding the truth?
Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.
Yes. They become Darwin Democrats.
