Only in your opinion.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

It is a religion. It is not proven. Your belief takes faith just as creation does. That makes it religion.

It is a theory based upon the evidence we have access to. As the evidence reveals itself or changes due to new findings the theory is tweaked.

This has nothing to do with religion. You are desperate to validate your religious stance that offers no proof except belief.

"I don't know" is an acceptable answer. Just like in the case of God... "I don't know" is the honest answer.

You don't know if you've ever seen your brain? That's odd. If I ever saw my brain I would surely remember it.

I thought it was one of those "proving God things" by saying "ever seen the inner ear?" type responses. What exactly did you mean by "have you ever seen your brain?" Obviously there are medical resources that would allow me to do so.

I'm assuming you mean "since I've never seen my brain how do I know it exists?" as if knowing that my brain is there is some kind of "belief". That would have worked a couple hundred years ago I'm sure.

That would work better with "soul".

How do you know you don't have a soul?
