Imagine a religion whose founder claimed to be a scientist, its holy book a treatise with a supposedly scientific message, and its devotees people who think of themselves as learned. This religion has penetrated into almost every civilization, every school of thought and every ideology; its adherents number in the hundreds of millions. In every field of specialization – history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, biology, etc. – it is a basic dogma, the "light that illuminates truth." It is the "religion of Darwinism."
These words of the eminent Darwinian,Pierre Teilhard de Chardin,expose the position of "science" in the Darwinist outlook:Is evolution a theory, a system, or a hypothesis? It is much more.It is a general postulate to which all theories, all hypotheses,all systems must henceforward bow and which they must satisfy in order to be thinkable and true.Evolution is a light which illuminates all facts,a trajectory which all lines of thought must follow.This is what evolution is.

Wow, people can't even ask a question now without being called names... Anyways, why is it that science has to be naturalistic? It doesn't. Science is a search for the truth, and if that truth includes God, so be it. But one quick note, evolution is not "measurable, repeatable, and predictable." We can't measure it, can't get it to repeate, or predict it. Is it really science?

I like the way you think, I cannot honestly say that I agree with you, but, you make me think.
The thing that makes darwinism popular is the fact that it has evidence and real world theories with explanations, where as not one religion can give this material. That is what make darwinism the "belief" that is pointing the way into the future. Personlly, I see it as science and it make no difference to me. It is a scientific fact that the physical body dies. If it evolved...or if it was created, it still dies none the less...

What is science? Science is what took us from hot air balloons to landing on the moon in under 70 years.
Science has been working on the theory of evolution for almost twice as long now, and let me tell you, it's starting to look beautiful!

Wow. They really got you didn't they. Science is based on observation of our material universe. It is not fabrication and any fabrications can be refuted by anyone who makes a different observation. Religion is not based on observation or measurement, it is based on absolutely nothing. Oh, I'm sorry, it's based on voices in peoples heads.

Science is NOT a religion...no matter what your narrow bigoted mind thinks.
Science does not move to control its people via a dogma of hate and control....sounds like you are thoroughly brainwashed.

um, just no.
honestly, you're starting to get annoying with this evolution is crap tangent.
i could write an entire book on "what is science" but it would be lost on you. sorry. you're not here to exchange ideas or learn anything, you're just here to preach. sorry man, but you'll win no converts here.

Scientific knowledge is measurable, repeatable, and predictable. Science is the practice of measuring, repeating, and predicting the world around us.
You're welcome.
