Is evolution a religion?

Question

Science is that witch is testable, quantifiable ,verifiable, and repeatable. Anything else is metaphysics and religion. I recomend going to this site before you answer. www.geocities.com/deke1942/tccop/evolution.htm

Answer 1

what? anything other than science is metaphysics and religion? i'm not sure AT ALL, so thumbs down me if you want, but isn't metaPHYSICS a type of science?

but anyway, religion is only an evolution if you believe in it

Answer 2

That doesn't make sense. Maybe you are thinking of Natural Selection. Evolution means continuous improvement. Besides, lots of things are untestable, unquantifiable, unverifieable and unrepeatable, but are not metaphysical or religious.

Answer 3

great question.... religion was created about 25000 to 35000 years ago...(THE ICE AGE) the people of the day (NEANDERTHAL MAN) took notice to all that was around them...the grass, trees, the animals, the air and the ground they walked on....they knew there was a power greater than them selves that was involved with it all....so they worshiped the power behind what they seen in there day to day lives and called them .....GODS....the religion of paganism was then born...the religion of Meany Gods and Goddesses was recorded on cave drawings, stone tablets...and passed from one generation to the other till about the 1100's when paganism was just about wiped out, that's when (Christianity) came in.....religion has changed with (MAN) but as you may see here and there .....paganism is comming back....)0( ....((peace be with you)) ......

Answer 4

Would likewise recommend that you visit http://www.tiller.org and http://www.divinecosmos.com for indications as to how psi or human soulfield intention moves in quantum space, to reliably, testably, repeatably, and quantifiably affect matter in ways otherwise duplicatable only with high-end physics apparatus. Lynne McTaggart's "The Field" gives a layperson's introduction to current mainstream biophysics research in the same area, i.e., of scientifically demonstrable human will and sensitivity beyond kantian 5-sensing. Likewise, Dr. Elizabeth Mayer's "Extraordinary Knowing" and Dr. Dean Radin's "Entangled Minds."

The fact of the matter regarding evolution is that souls were entangling themselves in matter, in deliberate disregard to clear Godly warning, for millions of years. Gradually, the more daring took up physical incarnation in the more advanced hominid/human group.

There are aspects of evolution which are beyond modern science, in terms of structure guiding, guarding, and governing evolution, or macro-speciation.

Thus, neither literal fundamentalism nor darwinism, even so-called devo-evo, etc., are particularly aware of the process as it has occurred. It is probably better to be childlike in faith, love God, than be an arrogant atheistic materialist/scientistic, for one's soul/inner child/inner sense does far more develop in the former, than in the latter, configuration.

One of the consequences of dabbling in exercise of choice in matter, not our native estate, is the increased importance of the lesson of seeking first the kingdom, which is Truth, righteousness (right useness), divine Love, Oneness with the Presence (including allowing that Mind to abide, which was also in Christ Jesus--the Light of God that never fails).

So, according to some standards, for some people, who are on the level of "blind" "faith," darwinism's many presumptions are taken at face value.

For both fundies and darwinists, both tend toward reductivism of one type (biblical literalism) or another (logical positivism, etc.). There are errors in the Bible, e.g., Jesus has red letters noting a certain species of seed (mustard) is the "least"--later research has shown a smaller, "leaster" seed. Is that ground for saying God is not, or Jesus was not inerrant? Not really.

As your url notes, "If the facts don't fit, ignore them"?

Another arena in which fundies and materialists both fail to perceive Truth is reembodiment (the lifestream sending soul-initiative extensions of Self for development; each lifetime is a separate personality, much as Elias was a separate personality from John the Baptizer, yet both were of the same lifestream or unique spirit-spark, which by election had developed extraordinarily in attainment). Try "Life before Life," Jim Tucker, M.D., "The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?", Free and Wilcock, "Reborn in the West: The Reincarnation Masters," Vicki MacKenzie.

A third arena in which both fundies and reductionist materialists fail to discern Truth: the rather primitive stance of e.g. geocentric earth behavior among reactionary scientistic religious, being defeated over and over again in the atomistic sphere, by Cartesian "enlightenment" scientism. The Aquinan distinction between theology and philosophy-science is somewhat superceded by e.g. Tiller's work, Husserl's insights, and suchlike. The blending of the two spheres, which scientific marking and tracing of state-specific psi/soulfield awareness and attainment promotes, while minor in the overall theological and scientific spheres, is exceedingly significant philosophically, in that it presents a post-kantian sensibility which explains e.g. the Swedenborg phenomenon in quantum terms and testibility.

A fourth arena of fundie and materialist woeful ignorance is the conditioning effect of increased techne upon human psychic processes. Kindly note Mark Prophet's "The Soulless One" as an heuristic introduction, and Joseph Chilton Pearce's "The Biology of Transcendence" as a more science-based perspective. "Transhumanism" is merely a fringe perspective, but it indicates the vast potentials for change in ways most humans sadly will not recognize. About such is some Wittgensteinian philosophy of the future.
