Talk:Evolutionism

I think not

This article appears to me to be an attemt to tease proponents of evolution. There is no such religion as "evolutionism". What exactly is the difference between what this page describes as evolutionism and atheism? (which is not a religion either). This article does not represent serious scholarship. I suggest that it be deleted. --Horace 00:48, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

Is it teasing, or is it just unbiased, hard-to-hear fact? It is true that it is based in naturalism, there is no disputing that. So it is similar to atheism, maybe we should add that to the article. Atheism may be the denial of religion, but there is no such thing as a person without a worldview, it's impossible. Atheists have their atheist worldview. --Ymmotrojam 00:56, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

So what you are saying is that you are really talking about atheism. There is already a page on atheism. I am sure that you are welcome to post there if you have anything constructive to say. --Horace 01:06, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

worldview = religion? I think that it is dangerous ground to suggest such a thing. Worldview is certainly affected by religious beliefs, however, to limit it to just this would be to utterly reject cultural influences and individual experience. Both of these are part of the perspective we call worldview. This page is also in violation of the Commandments #1 and #2, and should be fixed as such. --Dikaiosune 01:00 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I'm okay with saying "worldview" rather than religion. We Creationists like to apply religion to any ideology that is different from ours, almost to the same effect as the word secular or pagan, because we don't consider biblical Christianity a religion (atleast not on the same plane as others). But worldview is accurate and less divisive for this atmosphere. --Ymmotrojam 02:07, 19 March 2007 (EDT)

I refer you to my remarks on the AFD page in relation to "worldviews". --Horace 02:09, 19 March 2007 (EDT)
