I hold the view that to not believe in evolution, in general, is to be somewhat of an idiot. The evidence is too overwhelming for us not to be persuaded by Darwin's theory. However, I understand the trepidation of many when confronted with the theory. When presented with the rich complexity of humanity and the dark reductionism of what is now "science," I have to say that Darwinism doesn't explain to me the "finish carpentry" of human life. Thus, I remain somewhat of an agnostic, although in a contemporary way, an atheist. The existence of God depends entirely upon the divine's ability to inspire action and reveal truth to humanity. That capacity is dead. God is dead and we have slain him.
