You did not just conflate ontogeny with phylogeny. Lol. Is your family name Haeckel by any chance?
In terms of scientific implications I agree, but I would actually say they're more responsive to reality than you in terms of metaphysics. When you are inculcated with existential materialism from birth, in a society where that is the dominant academic outlook, you realize on some level that existence itself is amoral and that meaning is purely constructed. From there it is a hop, skip, and a jump to reshape language, a human construction, in the way you see fit... among other things.
I can't speculate on why you in particular haven't succumbed to the solipsism of materialism, but it's clear you're an endangered species. For every one of you, there's five demented atheist liberals and maybe one or two that are going back to the right as they begin to accept the order impressed by God.
You're just channeling Sam Harris; make the debate about language and meaning of esoteric words instead of actually confronting the simple reality.
All life today came from single-cell organisms. Every raising of the proof bar in the past by religious nuts has been met.
Still don't believe it? Make your argument against it, but keep in mind that "well because I just refuse to believe it" only works for you.
On the contrary, I've been precise, and if you think I wrote "ontogeny" and "phylogeny" to play semantics... not my problem those words appear esoteric to you.
You're focusing on a so-called reality that would never be observable in the projected civilizational history of a species even if it existed, let alone our lifetimes. Meanwhile, the account of human nature in the Bible is proven more truthful by the day. New Atheism said it was a vestigial barbarism that was actually inimical to humanity. Instead, our society is in freefall without it. That's my point in looking at metaphysics. If the Bible is right about people, then what else is it right about? And why?
lol your best argument is "the past isn't the present". Good Lord.
"If" something is right about one thing then it's right about other things.
Holy shit Sam no wonder you're so perplexed by reality.
That's an arrant misreading of my post, but I do find it amusing your choice of insult is calling me one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism. How far the mighty have fallen.
Look up Hackel, btw. You might learn something.
