Quote:Because there are millions of more facts, that are required into the understanding of evolution, than gravity?
I would say the opposite. Nobody understands gravity. Evolution is a piece of cake to understand. That is why it is popular. With evolution people can parade themselves as scientific without ever having to furrow their brows.
Granted there are millions of facts in the evolutionary process, trillions more like, and they all contribute the same thing to our understanding just as the white fur of a polar bear tells us the same thing as the long neck of a giraffe and whatever it is that enables a virus to become immune to antibiotics.
Darwin piled fact on fact because he hadn't a book length script explaining the principle of evolution. Just a paragraph or two and it had been explained before and practiced by peasants down the ages. And by humans.
It's a natural suck it and see method whereas science is an artificial one where a human intelligence, motivated these days by fundings, decides what to suck. Disease control being a honey pot. Which risks disease prevention being sidelined. And risks disease promotion in order to have something to control which can be turned into a growth industry. Just as famines have been promoted to make a killing in the corn market or wars to turn a dollar in armaments and associated paraphernalia.
A proper reading of history shows that at the very top of every pyramid, whether there be one or many, there are extremely ambitious men and women and they are all driven by the same urge. To control. Methods vary as circumstances vary.
The Christian religion is an attempt to put to shame and obloquy some of the methods and to favour others such as forgiveness, love, ceremonials of many splendoured things, with chantings and dancings, and frilly Sunday bests, stitching up the contracts for the High-Speed rail link, getting fixed up with a chaste hopeful, boozing, taking the piss out of priests, and fighting anybody who has any other ideas.
Our atheists think there should have been no fighting off suchlike scum but they indulge their conceit by avoiding considering what if it hadn't have done. They compare the Christian religion to some idealised abstract concept of bliss which cannot exist. Thus, if they know, and they do now, they lie.
