Quote by: sdbest  Of course not. Evolution occurs at the level of individual. If a theist developed an immunity say to HIV/AIDS that was inheritable and passed that trait along to his or her offspring, and that trait gave the offspring a reproductive advantage, evolution is occurring.
Evolution would also be occurring if a negative trait was passed on that lowered the reproductive success of the offspring.
The only way that theists could not contribute to evolution would be if none of them reproduced. Hmmm.
BTW, evolution has nothing whatsoever to do with fulfilling "full potential."

Sorry, but don't you think he implied that religion was preventing some peoples "philosophy" from evolving??
