A couple of months ago, when my grandfather was in the hospital clinging onto life, I sure as hell did not pray to Darwin.

If I am reading your ideas/thoughts correctly, I would have to question exactly how you percieve our belief in Evolution. Many of us do not see Charles Darwin as a person to be praised. He was just an man with an idea, an idea that was brought forth in a place and time where this was against the norm. We respect his work. Any further than that he was just a scientist that made remarkable observations. Evolutionists do not have a spiritual faith in Evolution, we use this as another piece of the puzzle that explains our surroundings in a logical manner; a key to unlock that which we do not know--a token of knowledge.

We live in such a depressing world where the only thing that is sure is that we will die.

I can see that this discussion can be somewhat hard to deal with, and I myself have gone through a period of questioning my own beleifs. I have also gone through a period in my life where I saw the world and everything around me as being depressing. Though, conciousness is exactly what one makes of it. I choose to enjoy all that is around me for it's sheer beauty. I take solace in the fact that I am alive; I wouldn't have it any other way. This is the way that I choose to live my life, the pursuit of knowledge, being open-minded and never turning down that which will enlighten me. During this pursuit, I wish to tread as lightly as possible on the beielfs of others. We are all going through this together and we each have out own unique perception, just like fingerprints, no two are alike.

I do have to admit that I respect your thoughts/feelings. My father is a very spiritual person who was raised jewish, and has always had a relationship with g-d. I support his feelings and I will do that which I can to make him happy. Though I have decided that it is not for me.

Please continue to share your ideas and thoughts, I beleive that there may be some common ground that we can all agree upon.
