Don´t tell the people


 Debate bros on the Internet:

"The origins of life has nothing to do with evolution"

"Evolution is a strictly scientific idea. It´s worldview-neutral."

"Evolution is neutral towards religion"

"Don´t confuse evolution with atheism"

Charles Darwin: 

“There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”

Sounds like a statement not just about how one species turns into another, but about cosmology, value, aesthetics, futurology, theology even...indeed, about *worldview*, and why every other worldview is wrong...

Or as Richard Dawkins put it: It was possible to be an atheist before Darwin, but he made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.

But please don´t tell SCOTUS, LOL.
