Evolution is a religion. This was true of evolution in the beginning, and it is true of evolution still today.
— Michael Ruse
The most attractive Michael Ruse quotes that will add value to your life
Their [the new atheists] treatment of the religious viewpoint is pathetic to the point of non-being. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course. Proudly he criticizes that whereof he knows nothing.
The God Delusion makes me embarrassed to be an atheist, and the McGraths show why.
In other words, science tells us that Adam and Eve are fictions.
That Saint Paul or Uncle Tom Cobley and all thought otherwise is irrelevant. They were wrong.
...I really want to believe. I find the goodies offered by Christianity extremely attractive. But I am damned (again!) if I am going to sell my evolutionary birthright for a mess of religious pottage.
In particular, I argue that in both evolution and creation we have rival religious responses to a crisis of faith-rival stories of origins, rival judgments about he meaning of human life, rival sets of moral dictates, and above all what theologians call rival eschatologies-pictures of the future and of what lies ahead for humankind.
We who cherish science should be careful to distinguish when we are doing science and when we are extrapolating from it
