Would the world be better if we all subscribed to Evolution and Religion did not exist?

[Stone Cold]

Evolution is fact so it can't be subscribed to, only understood or misunderstood. And evolution is not in conflict with all religion, just literalist interpretations that don't acknowledge empirical truths.

I could replace Evolution with the Bible in the bolded statement and the only difference would be opinion/perspective/belief.

If you are claiming Evolution is a fact, the burden of proof now is on the claimer(you).

I think we all agree that the world is a pretty messed up place with Religion.

Even so, reasonable minds would also agree Religion put some sort of structure to the chaos of the Natural world.

If we subtract religion from the Natural world,

we're left with Evolution since most of you believe it is already apart of the Natural world.

Society would then be based only on evolution since religion provided us with the basis of most of our philosophical concepts of morality and equality(dating back to Ancient Greece or even further)

If society was based on evolution, it would be structured by genetics and survival of the fittest

The question "who is more closer to the apes, whites, blacks, asians, or latinos?" would be taken a lot more seriously.

Would blacks still be considered 3/5 human beings? If not, which race would be?

Indeed the world would have less Hitlers if there was no religion,

but even more Attila the Huns(prime example of Darwin's survival of the fittest - alpha male)

nope,petty huemans would still find adversarial conflict over some matter or thee other,maybe religion and science would just trade places in thee hueman pantheon,with science as thee "original" explanation for existence and religion emerging slowly but surely to vanguard a challenge/alternate theory to encompass existence...

like homeboy above said as long as huemans need land and resources&there's a finite amount tis in hueman nature to clash for goods..sad but true

You're arguing for eugenics.

Thats not evolution.

Thats artificial selection.

Keep trolling.

Evolution ITSELF is not "teleological"...meaning, it doesn't lead towards an end.

Evolution always continues, it doesn't work for whats "best" it works for what works.

My argument in this discussion is not against evolution in and of itself

it is how it would be used to structure a society of finite beings with finite resources

If you try to demote religion in other threads by saying "religion is the cause of all problems"(im paraphrasing)

and then turn around and promote evolution as a rebuttal.

That's fair.

But you have to provide us with a solution to our problems that outmatch religion in your promotion of evolution.

Otherwise you are just talking out of your ass.

Darwin viewed black people as lower on the evolutionary scale, so we'd be fukked if the rest of the world took to Evolution with the same fervor as they do Religion.

Damn OP if atheism had levels youd be at level 0.5

What are you then?

You clearly have no idea what evolution actually purports. You think you're trolling but you're not

Then I guess that nikka Ota Benga didnt die in vain afterall

Ok, What does it actually purport?

 

[Greenstrings]

Ok, What does it actually purport?

It is not a set of principles it is a scientifically valid theory. No part of the theory of evolution implies that there is hierachical stratification amongst humans, Napoleon is right, you're thinking about eugenics which is not scientifically valid.

You wouldn't organise a society around evolutionary theory in the same way that you wouldn't organise a society around paleontology.

I don't say "religion is the cause of all problems"

I've never claimed that.

BUT I don't see the point of overlooking religion's influence or therefore thinking that its not worth addressing.

Parents not going to PTA meetings hurts communities too...but I don't think its THE most important thing ever, nor does not talking about it mean that its any less important.
