I'd definitely agree we got a real strong belief system of some sort going on here.

Far be from me to try to define it though. I really haven't got a clue as to what it is.

I mean... one day it's this..

What you have done (whether you know it or not) is conflate evolution with natural science, natural science with the philosophy of naturalism, and naturalism with metaphysical naturalism, and the problem for you is reconciling that view with the fact that many honest people of faith that study evolution have no religious conflict with their personal faith, and this simple fact contradicts your opinion. Not all {A} is {B}, Russ.


the next day it's something else, even exactly the opposite... kind of a category all by itself with it's own definitions of everything too depending on the moment. Religion usuallly has set beliefs, this is quicksand no matter where you try to step, it moves, it changes, it evolves itself to fit ever changing personal views. It always negates someone else's experience. It is evolution in and of itself.

I guess basically that's the thing to look for. Insistent negativity and strict denial of a self-as-god religious complex. Maybe that's it even... it's not religion at all Russ... RAZD must be the creator himself. I do get the very strong impression he is seeking faithful followers for his creation, whatever that is.

RAZD, do you have any intentions of donating your brain to science when you die? Maybe it would be wise to draw up a set of instructions of exactly where to look to find the answers to everything before you get too old.
