Fucking hell. You know the words, you state the facts, yet clearly have no clue what the hell they mean. Evolution is NOT "just another worldview" it is what the scientific community accepts as true. As I already pointed out, that is the only logical thing to be done, accept something as true unless a better(more fact based) explanation comes along. And as much as we can prove pretty much everything else, we can prove what happened in the past. And yes, it's not "absolute" proof, but nothing is, least of all your little fairytale. And within that framework, evolution is a far better theory. Creationism is theoretically unsound because it is incomplete. It does not explain the mechanism by which life was created, nor does it say where gods(with no proof these even exist) came from. Now, please do explain how evolution doesn't fit with natural laws, mr "I know better than actual scientists."

Oops. I missed that. Look into why the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists. You seriously need to stop assuming things aren't true just because you haven't heard about them. And do explain how I'm strawmanning my argument by pointing out the obvious discrimination.

its not about if you aren't religious, it's about if you are. Remember, most of them are in denial about this since that's the process by which evolution works.

It is pointless to compare he two outside of how they relate to human behavior, because technically, science is a system for increasing our understanding of the universe, and religions either dated, disproved scientific theories(remember their origional purpose was to explain the world, how it was created, how it worked, etc...) or cults, scams, like scientology. Approaching the universe with a scientific mind, one if forced to either accept these facts about religion or awkwardly ignore them. With a religious mind, progress will stagnate, because religion cannot drive us forwards.

@sublimegamer for the last fucking time. ABSOLUTE DETERMINATION OF THE TRUTH IS IMPOSSILE(this also applies to your little fairy tale, by the way) If god were to suddenly appear and speak to you, how could you prove that it was real, not, say, someone feeding signals into your brain as in the matrix? Answer: you can't. So the only thing that makes sense is to accept something as the truth until proven otherwise, and not to reject it without proof. This system founded modern science and pushed humanity far more forwards than religion ever could. This is not only because scienctific consensus is not only factually accurate to the best of our ability to test and percieve(and no religion has even gotten that far) but because, unlike religion science is a system of increasing our knowledge of the universe.

Ok, sure. Let's say the all-knowing magical sky daddy exists(not the trading card.) the only proof we have of his existence is a 2,000 year old book, written by HUMANS, and that has constantly been revised, translated, etc... it would be an unreliable source even if it WASN'T contradicting itself at every turn or making claims that are just flat out wrong. Now, @sublimegamer, perhaps you would like to explain why according to your little fairy tale god was so involved with humanity in ancient times and is completely gone now. Hasn't humanity passed the point of warranting a flood quite a while ago? Humans have fucking gone into space, and sent stuff beyond Pluto. Shouldn't that be far, far, worse than the Tower of Babel, or hell, how about skyscrapers? The only thing even close to that is the hurricanes. And guess who saw that coming.
