#52 — But aren’t we supposed to be discussing Islamic imperialism?
Yes.
What drove us off track was my saying that christians are not 1000 years ahead of the muslims, and everyone went ballistic at that point to denounce me. e.g….
-Indeed! It seems to me you are so attached to a certain idea of science that if some significant reality does not lend itself to being analyzed by just this kind of science, then to hell with reality.
I simply said that evolution is real and that attempts to bypass this natural explanation to invoke “new ways of thinking etc” is a fancy way of saying that evolution (a natural explanation that doesn’t require gods) isn’t real.
If you assume evolution isn’t real then the difference between you and muslims is merely academic, hence proving my point.
Evolution = natural.
Everything Else = invocation of something not natural.
Any explanation of the human condition that invokes anything other than purely 100% natural forces is equivalent to any and all other explanations starting with the same assumption.
I’m actually very consistent here despite being accused of being close minded.
