But since you never actually have conversations with
atheists, what you have to say about how we think is
strictly your uneducated opinion, based on you talking
to yourself.

Okay. I admit it. It is only a matter of time (or rather,
a matter of time and circumstance -- because evolution
tends to work when there are environmental changes) before
man is replaced by a more advanced species. Big deal.
we'll all be dead by the time it happens, so who cares.
Are you asserting that we deny the inevitable?

I challenge you to provide one single example -- a simple
quote from an evolutionary scientist, who said that
"evolution was but no longer is". I dare you. I double
dare you. You lie like a Clinton!

UH -- wrong. All that can be inferred is that all life
will adapt to changes in the environment. There is no
vector of evolution -- no progression towards an
ultimate goal. The only goal of evolution is
reproduction and survival.

Yeah, but that's sort of like saying "to say that
matter can travel faster than the speed of light is a
physicist no-no." Matter cannot go faster than light,
because even approaching light speed, the weight
of an object approaches infinity, and would require
infinite speed + 1 to go faster. LIkewise, evolution
has no vector, because it's only purpose it adapting
to best work in an environment.
