“The only way to be religiously neutral on a subject such as evolution is to acknowledge what we know and what we don’t know.”

I recall someone saying in effect “when they knew God…they did not like to retain God in their knowledge.” In the narrative, their reason for doing this was because they rejected the metaphysical implications. Religious neutrality, if such be the case is also given up.

Do we really know that life was generated only by random processes of mutation and natural selection?

[emphasis mine]

In a deterministic universe — a concept materialists inevitably espouse — the idea of “randomness” is a vacuous concept. Thus, I am thoroughly unimpressed with materialists who attempt to sell their atheism as some sort of scientifically tenable idea just because they believe we came to be via random processes.
