What Would Darwin Say to Today's Creationists?

"HOLY SHIT, CELL PHONES AND LASERS AND SPACE SHIPS!"

Seriously though, he'd probably be happy to hear that evolution is now no more controversial among scientists in relevant fields than germ theory or heliocentric theory are. I would suspect he would either 1) spend his time studying the mountain of evidence which proved evolution, or 2) face-palm himself to death after hearing that creationists still exist.

and you would be the only person in the world that would know what happens after we die.lets see the proof to that.

In just the same way that atheist regards matter as eternal, believers in God attribute eternity to God. Belief in an eternal being is then common to materialist and religious philosophers: both groups agree that there is a primary cause, but believers in God regard the primary cause as wise, all-knowing, and possessing the power of decision and will, whereas in the view of the materialists, the primary cause has neither consciousness, intelligence, perception, nor the power of decision.

Just that there is a choice to not believe God is enough proof that God does not exist...

When you die nothing happens.

There is no order in this chaotic universe we live in, if so you would not be alive.

Shut the fuck up and get rid of your imaginary friend, you're too old for that.

Educate yourself. Then maybe your comments won't be flagged for spam.

"anti-fairytaleism"? Do you mean the process that has been proven beyond all reasonable doubt through and supported by multiple scientific disciplines as opposed to religion that has not a single shred of evidence supporting it and so much evidence against that you have to have the mind of a child to get sucked into it?

What Would Darwin say to today's creationists? Creationists are simply Bible believing Christians and don't care what he would say.
