Talk:Definition of evolution (view source)
Revision as of 14:15, April 8, 2007

That bit about a leftist-atheist philosophy is out of place, I believe. It is how some people see evolution our place in the universe and how they see the lack of purpose in evolution, but it's not a definition of evolution per se. I think it likely belongs in the article (perhaps modified somewhat), but not ''as a definition''. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:56, 8 April 2007 (EDT)

Let me clarify, as one of the scientists here, humans ''are'' animals, that is indisputable. Per those of us who are scientists, we are unique animals in many ways, and that is significant. Earth is significant for the above reasons. Science, however, does not comment on the ''moral'' significance of humans or Earth. That is religion's job.--[[User:palmd001|PalMD]]<sup>[[User_talk:palmd001|talk]]</sup> 10:15, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
