I asked you a valid question, mr. hybrid religion. You are
labeling me a troll?
If your analogy of PRC Chinese and Singaporean Chinese is
what you mean by evolution, the evolutionists will be embarrassed
by your logic.
Mr. hybrid religion, first you said this:" Personally
i'm a Deist, i'm not against the idea of the possibility of a God
existing because the world would be pretty bland and boring without
such romantic ideas to bring life into it. Without religion, there
would also be none of the art and literature that fansinates our
imagination."
Now what is the definition of deist in your dictionary?
....and you are in support of evolution theory. An
evolutionist cannot be a deist. A deist cannot support evolution
theory. There is no in-between.
May be, I can now coin a word for your standing in-between the
two. How about evoludeist? How do you like that, besides being a
hybrid religion man?
The modern iterations of Monkeys and apes did not play a
part in the reproductive cycles of the Modern Homo Erectus. So i
can say we do not descend from them.
I use the PRC/Singaporean analogy because it's the same logic,
we would have shared a common ancestor with the PRC, but as our
closer ancestors migrated off to Singapore and started their own
family their children would identify themselves as Singaporean
Chinese.
These Singaporean Chinese would meet other Singaporean Chinese
and marry to have more children. Thus it becomes gradually rare for
a young Singaporean Chinese to have either of their parents being
from the PRC(though, that is changing now with the liberal
immigration policy).
So, i can say we share a common ancestor with those from the PRC
but we are descended from Singaporean Chinese. It's the same way in
evolution, we evolve from a common ancestor as the chimps and apes
but they play no part in the reproductive process of the modern
Homo Erectus, so we can safely say we do not descend from them.
First you ask me for the definition of being a Deist. Then you
assume that Deism and the Evolution theory cannot co exist? Quite a
strange conclusion. Are not the Protestants, Evangelists, Mormons
and the Roman Catholics all Christians?
Don't Islam, Christianity and Judaism all worship the God of
Abraham?
Firstly i do believe in the possibility of a
God but this God do not answer prayers, is not interested in sins
or confessions, does not even bother to read our thoughts and do
not bother with capricious miracles. He/She/It certainly does not
behave like a petty human.
I'm assuming that any headways or misfortunes i make in life is
due to a lucky combination of random events (which includes effort
on my own part), not because of some divine being intervening on my
behalf.All the shit and lucky things that happens in life is my own
responsibility, not anyone else's.
I do not need someone to interpret for me the meaning of a book
a thousand years old on how i should behave and what i should
believe. Nor do i need to be with hundreds of people once every
week in order to feel i'm doing the right thing.
Since i'm quite capable of making any judgement on my own
without the need of a propaganda book, a priest or a congregation,
i do not need to fall back on outdated notions to define my
worldview.
I prefer to read the many works of people who has spent decades
of their lives researching a particular subject to slowly build up
my worldview. Rather than just one book.
Since so many scientists have devoted their career to evolution
and is able to provide the evidence, concrete proof and solid logic
on why evolution is true i do not see any reason why it would clash
with my world view and certainly not Deism.
There is certainly no grounds for saying one cannot believe in
Deism and in Evolution at the same time. If you insist that this be
called a hybrid religion, then every educated man and woman capable
of thinking for themselves all have their own hybrid religions.
Considering that you enjoy so much giving people insulting
names, what else should i call you besides a troll?
