Yeah, it's pretty much been trashed.

Actually, it might be a useful case study for the thread. Did that evolve, or was it created by too much meth?

I may be wrong, but I thought this was a philosophy site. If this discussion is not based on philosophical thought, why not move it to a better suited scientific site. However, living in the 21st century, we cannot prove DNA 100% accurate, so why the argument on such a subjective subject?

You or I can say what we like about the reason for life. Evolution, being science, can not. It can only describe the mechanism, not the reason.

Again, I did not think this was a scienctific site. However I guess a creationist would say the origin of life was to make a man in god's image. Maybe he was bored I don't know.... Evolution on the other hand, which has been argued now on over 360 post is a scientific theory. Creationist believe in the fundamentalism of the christian doctrine, where evolutionst believe in many different theories of the origin of life. Who cares???? When something is proven without a doubt concerning this topic, I will assure my undivided attention. Until then, let the sun shine in........

This is a discussion site. All topics are valid.

Religion is only a science that became so introverted as to not advance itself. And that is the overall philosophy.

Did I miss any important buzz words?

Pretty strong words. "When a speculative philosopher believes he has comprehended the world once and for all in his system, he is deceiving himself, he has merely comprehended himself and then naively projected that view upon the world." C.G. Jung
I can't believe that statement about religion being so intoverted as to not advance itself. I am neither religious nor atheisis. I consider myself agnostic.
However, the argument you presented is of shallow thought in my opinion.
Let me get this straight. religion is science and because of the introversion it is now philosophy..... Is that your qoute? I hope not. One of the problems with religion as I see it is the extroversion. Trying to get others to believe because you do...... You didn't miss any "buzz" words, I could reconize. However, I am still reeling over your statement......

Religion was the equivalent of science - an attempt to make an orderly description of the operation of the world - before science was invented.

If that's the case, why the continued argument on this subject. Probably because others have different views......
