To all the materialists who think the incredible designs of nature - including on fish, birds, flowers and even caterpillars - emerge from nothing more than the most reductionist scientific evolutionary forces, I joyously disagree with you.

I shouldn’t have used the word “reductionist” that way. The people criticizing me on that one are right. My bad. Sorry.

I also think the fact that you don't think beauty emerges from nothing more than scientific evolutionary forces is a product of scientific evolutionary forces

Disagree all you want. In this day and age, sadly, it just reveals your ignorance....

Lamarck's conscious adaption, not Darwin's randomness & struggle

These are the kinds of disagreements I’m happy to coexist with. Whether you arrive at the conclusion to treat humans and the natural world with respect via materialism or spiritualism, it’s the objective that matters.

half the time, I love you, because you’re basically a socialist. but the other half is reductionist claptrap like this and it reminds me of why I am sad that you are rich
