Going along the theistic evolution route, what justifies the assertion that God created evolution?
it is I that O U after your support late last summer following my chlorinated mishap.
that's what friends are for
..and that whole circle of love thing we were talking about.
We have a concept of how evolution works in biological systems, a naturalistic framework, thats fine without any creator and I understand that you remove creation from after the big bang.From a metaphysical, non-scientific point-of-view, if you discovered that evolution had a naturalistic cause, then there would be the question of how that "cause" came to be. If the universe originated from a singularity, then the question is where the singularity came from. If the singularity came from the collision of two branes, then the question is where the branes came from.
In other words, science will never conclusively eliminate "God" from those who believe, because, for many people, science and nature are part of the key to understanding God, not an elimination of it.
State Constitutions that Discriminate Against Atheists
When I was younger I thought about doing something in local or national politics. As I got older though it became painfully clear that as an atheist I'd have no chance. Not to sound melodramatic but it was crushing to think that because of my lack of faith it would be near impossible to get in a position to bring about real change.
Do you honestly believe that all but one member of congress are believers? That would be a statistical oddity.
But if you suddenly find Jesus you become a darling to the voters.
In that sense I don't see how a process/sorting algorithm needs a creator any more than arithmetic needs a creator (but there are problems with that too).

In 2007, congressman Pete Stark admitted that he does not believe in God, making him the first member of Congress -- and the highest-ranking elected official in the U.S. -- to publicly acknowledge he's an atheist.

Not to belittle the man's name, but I think they call this happenstance because desolation, to believers, perfectly describes life apart from God.
elitist.
Don't tell me you wouldn't take notice if a leading Pro-life advocate had a name like Bec Alley.

You never noticed that Richard Lugar is a big 2nd amendment guy and Dick Armey was a neo-con.
