Hi, I´m antipz but I have changed name not to honor PZ anymore haha
Why should you believe anything I say? Anyway, if you're trying to fit me into something, youre going to have to deal with the fact that I am a paleobiologist, doing my postdoc on the developmental evolution of tetrapod limbs.
I am an atheist because I dont give a cent for the idea that actually, you know, there is some kind of conscious being blablabla However I do not hold that others must share my opinion. That is each person's decision and responsibility. I decide to be an atheist. YOU can be anything you want.
I hate Dawkin's science, among good evolutionary biologists everyone knows his selfish gene stuff is the purest crap. And of course I do not share his vulgar, easy attack on religon. For example, he says, "the more I know about evolution, the more I move from agnosticism to atheism" That is so stupid, it only makes sense if you still have hopes, and how on earth does growing knowledge on the mechanisms of evolution increasingly refutes God? What does that have to do with god at all? Its amazingly silly.
The point is: god has nothing to do with evolution. And I'm interested in evolution, not god. I hate it when people like stupid EO Wilson say the best thing evolution has done is refute god. Lets talk about evolution, for Bateson's sake
Convinced yet?
Science is about describing mechanisms. Sure, if you want, crystals, the orbits of planets, the atom and organisms reflect the intelligence of god, to me people are welcome to think that as long as they know that in the realm of science, these things are discussed in terms of observations and mechanism, such that anyone can engage in this discussion, regardless of whether he accepts the idea an intelligenece may or may not be reflected there.
I believe this is perfectly understood by many intelligent religious people, and even in entire religions, like hinduism and buddhism. Remember the muslim "trust Allah, but dont forget to tie your camel" hahaha
Like if the study of nature can tell us something about the existence or not of god. And no, it never will prove or disprove it.
I hope you realize that PZ does something very silly when he simply attacks all religion declaring a war to the death where we cannot coexist. Hey, people turn to fanatic religion (or some other stupid ideology) not because they're "simply stupid" but for human, real world circumstances. Buy to guys like PZ (and his real master silly Dawkins), these historical and material realities are "the details". Their attitude is simplistic, stuck- up and useless. Preaching to the choir, stuck up creeps that rub each other shoulders and believe almost everyone but them is stupid so they are free to insult. You can see right through these chauvinistic fools .
