Ok I have spent my life calling what you call evolution, adaptation.
But I will say if something is scientifically observed to be happening, then its happening.
So call it evolution. But that term has an atheistic tint to it.
I think there is a bigger religious issue of whether there is a God or not.
I'd say in the past 3 years I have had 5 serious conversations with atheist who were not happy and were suicidal, 2 conversations with people who believed in God who wanted me to kill them.
I will agree the prison population is not one made up of a lot of atheist.
But many of the people who have problems have no guidance or direction, which you will say is not a problem of atheism and I can see your point.
Why do people behave criminally, there are a number of reasons,
The most simple is there are trying to satisfy, fulfill their basic needs; food, clothing, shelter, love, belonging,
Any one of us may act criminally trying to find food or shelter.
Then after that catagorie of criminal we have those who are taking garbage in and putting garbage out. Listening and watching violent antisocial material.
Then the 3rd reason people would act criminally would be they are insane, mentally instable, organically deficient.
Many criminals intake through their eyes and ears violence, evil and corruption.
Garbage in = garbage out. Once again not evolution, atheist problem.
But the only people that I see or hear that counsel people to walk the straight and narrow, to watch what they take in their eyes and ears seem to be in my part of America, bible believing Christians.
I've never seen atheist come to the jail to try and turn people lives around.
I dont hold biologist in the high esteem that you and your fellow atheist do,
I figure a biologist is someone who couldnt get in or make it through medical school.
There is a famous scientist, doctor, author who comes to my jail from time to time to encourage the inmates to walk down the right side of the street. Dr. James P. Gills. One book he wrote that I have and have read is "Darwin under the Microscope"
Science is the effort to discover and increase understanding of how the physical world works.
The mechanisms of evolutionary change are natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow.
I have no agenda.
It just does not make sence to me evolution without a desiger. I think it is more unlikely than likely.
I have read a lot about it over the years and the math does not add up for the earth to have been here long enough given the distance from the sun to have favorable conditions for life to have evolved.
Plus I think we are too complicated to have not been designed.
I have taken college anantomy and physiology and to me the body seems to complicated to have assembled itself without an intelligence directing it.
I dont neccessarly believe there is a loving kind benevolent God, I'm not saying there is not, but I'm not convinced there is.
But I believe some intelligence put life into motion. Just like there is an intelligence that makes the internet work.
Computers and the internet work and viruses and programs are launched and the designer or programer may have no interest or knowledge of everything that is going on as a result of his programing.
I have no agenda. I'm not lying about the books I have and have read. I work midnights at a jail. I get to read all night and get paid for it, thats what I like about my job.
I will say I am tired of reading Creation and evolution books, I find them basically the same with 5% of the words changed. Its like watching a PeeWee Herman movie, "I know you are but what am I"
Each side uses the same arguments to make their points. I work in law enforcement In Florida, that makes a hung jury.
The only way a jury can send someone to the electric chair is with evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.
I dont see where the atheist evolutionist have established that yet.
People see what they want to see and that goes for you as well as me. I think you have much more of an agenda than I.
When someone does a good job of explaing abiogenisis and demonstrates it in the laboratory, I will change my argument.
