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.

Tbh “materialists” was worse. Really pigeon-holing the complexity of the human relationships with science, spirituality, and the journey we are all on in understanding this existence.

And I don’t mean this to beat up on you after you apologized. It’s more of a challenge because I see you as an absolute leader at challenging normative thinking and rarely see you use limiting labels to reduce others. Usually, I have seen you do the opposite

I don’t understand. I’m simply saying I can’t look at the intricate colors on let’s say certain flowers and think there’s a strictly material explanation. I don’t think evolution contradicts God but I also don’t think God contradicts evolution.

I thought that for many years. Just a thought, wouldn't it be that much more amazing if it were only done through the mechanics of evolution without some supernatural guiding hand?
