God Pwns.
i'm in the God Pwns camp.
your silly arguments can't sway my conviction!
Ignoring for the moment that my only partial comprehension of the word 'pwns' makes this statement difficult, I am wondering what it is that is threatened here. How can
any argument for or against evolution be relevant to faith in the power of G-d? The transcendent can be experienced in countless ways, and no arguments for evolutionism have anything whatever to do with faith in G-d and her ultimate existence, goodness,
etc. Real faith should be strong enough to tolerate new facts; after all, if G-d created the world, those facts are hers as well.
On the other hand, if faith in G-d is so fragile as to be tied completely to ancient writings, to the extent that a belief in her forces the faithful to pluck out their eyes and practically lobotomize themselves, well... I'd say that kind of faith needs to die. And eventually, when we (as a society and a world) grow tired of the blind and dumb leading us to oblivion, mayhap we can get all of those so-called 'faithful' to pack up and move to a remote island where they can practice their primitive rituals without harming the innocent.
