Romans 1;22"thinking themselves wise they became fools" ,you can assert all the arguments you like ,even dress it up with wonderful articulation but in doing so ,you smuggle in the Christian value of logic ,as without GOD ,there is no such thing ,just random molecular and electic activity ,and without GOD you still have to believe in a thing unobserved ,and the notion of nothing becoming something,and people say Christianity is a leap of faith
Evolution is testable. It is falsifiable. It does not rely on the supernatural; It s a natural process. Even if it were to be falsified, which is extremely unlikely at this point, it would only be eligible for falsification because it is a legitimate hypothesis.
Anything can have philosophical implications. Quantum mechanics has philosophical implications. That doesn't mean it isn't scientific..
@particle58 You might also be interested in the fact that The Origin of Species was on the Nazi list of forbidden books, and that Galton's theories of social darwinism in fact have nothing to do with the theory of evolution or naturalistic views. In fact, Galton's thinking is perfectly compatible with theistic views on racial purity and inherited sin, via the curse of Ham. The "science" behind it had as good quality as the "science" of phrenology and basically involves making shit up.
@particle58 The fact that they are fringe views *today*, and that Christians use terms like Judeo-Christian *today* is mostly a result of both WWII propaganda demonizing the Nazis and the observations of the consequences of WWII. Pre WWII, Christians did not identify with the Jews in any significant way and the Jews had the role as the-other, a target to be painted with conspiracy theories.
@UpoundBUTTS Baloney. You can't test efoolution. TRUE science if observable, testable and repeatable. Efoolution is anything but.

Cursing, name-calling, unexplained assertions, and bullying...none of them is science.
