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.

Okay where's the evidence. Besides look at the trees.

That's okay. 🙂

For me, the sensible position on the big existential questions is, "I don't know, and I'm comfortable with that." The problem is with the believers who insist on forcing their view on the rest of us.

Read some of @RichardDawkins books. I liked you so far, but this is anti-scientific nonsense.

I believe there is nothing more than nature but it is all love and creativity that creates these things nothing less

Just because you find natural phenomena aesthetically pleasing doesn't mean it has a super natural cause, and I don't see why you have to disrespect people who don't share your beliefs.

all that beauty is created by nature, and i think that’s beautiful. that all the tiny changes across millions of years created the beautiful natural world we live in is amazing. i think that it’s important to acknowledge that even if everything was created by evolution that’s not
