Humanism

Evolution is garbage, Hitler used it to murder 6 million people.

I agree Aerial, Evolution is just a joke, Darwin and mental nut Hawkins were fruit cakes.
Anyone who beleives in Evolution is just a nut.

Darwinism/Theory of Evolution have absolutely nothing to do with the hatred that Hitler proposed and taught. Darwinism has nothing whatsoever to do with blond, blue-eyed people! Please read up on it before you spread such misinformation.

And, now, of course, I really wonder exactly who the "fruitcakes" are -- maybe aerial view and el superbeasto? Interesting that they are both from Duncanville, not exactly the hotspot of civilization.

people should focus on employment and financial responsibility, and leave their opinions of others to themselves. i have spoken.

Dictionary: A system of thought that rejects religious beliefs and centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth.(I base my beliefs on reason, evidence and human values).

INHERENT IN HUMANISM is the expectation that one’s beliefs will be based on evidence, reason and human values.

Humanism considers the facts that the universe, based on current scientific calculations and consensus is likely to be about 13bn years old. It appears it must be several billion years old even allowing for some major mistakes and misunderstandings.

Current scientific evidence suggests that humans as we know them probably have only existed for around 32,000 or 170,000 years, based on various definitions of ‘modern humans’.

And the industrial revolution happened in the 19th Century.

The Earth is likely to last maybe another billion years, if major disasters like that which ended so many species 65million years ago can be anticipated successfully.

Humanism observes our recent arrival and anticipates our likely development over the next few millennia. It’s hopeful.

INHERENT IN RELIGION is ‘faith’. The idea that it is inherently good to ‘just believe’. An act of faith.

Faith is based belief in an interventionist god that is hopelessly overwhelmed by scientific evidence, reducing religious adherents to denial of scientific evidence, such as that of evolution.(Extremists claim the Earth is only thousands of years old)

Good books generally were written over a period of centuries. Emphasis is often put on the age and unchanging content of the text on the presumption that this somehow increases (rather than decreases) its evidential value.(Extremists think that God created Adam and Eve)

Religions often see a battle between tribes (e.g. Zionists or Islamists) and that a judgement day is coming.

Religions often predict Armageddon on Earth and salvation for the faithful. It often sounds essentially nihilist except for the people who 'find' the ‘correct’ faith.
