Reply #16: Darwinism and Religion Make For Interesting Debates [View All]

[jprd]

Darwinism has always interested me because I like logical concepts. There are a lot of holes in Darwin's theories, but there's still an overall, logical concept. You can get into some very interesting debates discussing Darwin's theory and Religion. For instance, Darwin contends the human beings are animals, and as such we have in-bred animal instincts. Some of those instincts may be good for society while others are simply self-serving and defensive. When you get to the point of wondering what it is that makes human animals something more than just self-serving animals with instincts that cannot be controlled, you often end up discussing religious principles. Odd, isn't it?
