Isherwood - "I agree with that. A philosophy cannot affect a physical process in that manner. Religion has no effect on evolution, except on a social level when it condemns and ridicules those who teach it."


What? Philosophy is like the operating system that our minds operate on. Think of all the wars that have been fueled by religion. Surely the deaths affected the evolution of our species. I mean, it might be something that seems insignificant, but think about the way that people around the world devote so much to these philosophies. It has to count for something.


FIFI - "God is a example of what each passing culture worry, fear, value, and admire in themselves, their enviroment, and within their society. "
You summed up it in a beautiful package. Except replace culture with generation.
Thank you, and yes, when I posted it I realized it should of said generation, that would of been more recent. But on a broader scale, I believe culture. Look at the religious values of Native Africans, S. and N. Americans, then look at Greek / Roman, Europe, Asia, etc. Very different, as are the original cultures.
