Evolution and Atheism

I have serious reservations about pinning all my arguments against theism to the theory of Evolution. It's not that I doubt the theory itself, it's just that I find there is so much more science out there to discredit the belief in God.

Richard Dawkins is the high profile soldier who has taken up the sword in the cause against those who see evolution theory as a threat to their religion. The Creation Scientists for some reason known only to them, feel that evolution is the most threatening scientific theory to the belief in God. That's their problem.
I don't think it's enough to do battle with the forces of darkness and ignorance purely on the evolution theory front.

Evolution cannot be questioned. It is a fact.
How it is explained is by Darwin's theory of natural selection.

Darwin might end up being wrong. Evolution will remain an undisputed fact.

This is the critical distinction that many people overlook. It is not the fact of evolution that is in question but the mechanism for evolution.

Creation Scientists (and I use the phrase with acute disgust) are not true scientists. They are religious fanatics with an axe to grind. They have a problem with evolution.
Would people take them so seriously if they were advocating a flat earth?
Would we take them seriously if they advocated the sun revolves around the earth?

My argument is forget the narrow focus of evolution and look at the universe.
Look at electricity for example. Look at nuclear physics. These are triumphs of science that have found practical uses in technology.
The power of science is awesome and frightening when we can unleash the powers of nature.
Genetic engineering scares us because we enter the realm of the Gods in the ability to shape life forms.

Are you still talking about the intangible the indefinable and the mystical when there is so much evidence for wonder and awe that exists in the universe?

It's time to shake off the acceptance of mumbo jumbo that leads to nowhere, religion emerges from darkness and ignorance and leads us up a blind alley back to darkness and ignorance.

Religion isn't the source of morality and ethics, religion isn't the source of humanity, religion isn't the source of compassion and understanding. These qualities are inherent in the species, in all species that exist in a social group.

People think atheists have no morality.
Atheists are more moral than any religious person because there is no escape clause for misdeeds in the atheist world. In the atheist world, there is no forgiveness by some higher being.
Do something wrong and you live with it the rest of your life. It's better to think twice about doing wrong because there is no forgiving. No forgiveness where you hurt somebody.
No absolving of sins just because you ask. It that sense, you are more compelled to behave morally than somebody who thinks their transgressions will be forgiven.
