I apologize for anything I have distorted. I simply wanted to point out that science sees humanity as no better than any other life form while religion sees humanity as the most significant life form in the universe. I think that contradicts what you said about science thinking we are the center of the universe.

Ah..... but it doesn't even come close to doing that, and I have given the reason why.  Religion....... specifically Judeo/Christianity...... very strongly places GOD at the Center.  For you to continue to argue that you think Christianity puts man at the center, just because plants aren't our equal, is a mere spitting into the wind.

And for your own personal enlightenment, I would urge you to do a bit more research on the philosophy of the 18th and 19th centuries that took God not only out of philosophy, but also education and science (and was incidentally called "humanism" because it clearly placed man at the center of the universe, and above God).

Your belief that humans are too magnificent to have been a product of evolution is not evidence of a creator.

So you are saying that the human body is magnificent is only a 'belief' that I have, and not reality?

Yikes.

I'll use an obvious parallel.  Show me a functioning watch that wasn't made by anyone, and then compare its complexity with that of the human body, and you might begin to understand the obvious.

We didn't just 'happen.'  The evidence points clearly to a Designer.

Unless you shut your eyes, cover your ears and hum to avoid reality......... which I have a sense is exactly what you are doing.

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

Don't know much about the theory of evolution, etc..

But I can say this....I don't believe that all the oil/petroleum in the ground is a result of decayed dinosaurs.

The graduate degreed petroleum engineers and geologists that I worked with did and most continue to believe it so.

Not just dinosaurs, but also the other things in the seas. Krill, plankton, etc.
