Some of your challenges I have answered repeatedly. --Yes, there ARE people out there that do good without being Christian. (Not sure how many times I have to say this)--Yes, evolution IS used as an attack against religion, and by extension God. -Let's look a a basic question of accountability then. Should scientist be accountable for their discoveries?-http://www.debate.org/opinions/should-scientists-be-held-accountable-for-the-consequenc...-http://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/the-future-of-blame-A distinguished American lawyer once remarked that "man is in no sense the maker of himself and has no more power than any other machine to escape the law of cause and effect." The speaker was Clarence Darrow, who, 80 years ago, was trying to help Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb escape the death penalty for having murdered Bobby Franks in cold blood. "Each act, criminal or otherwise, follows a cause," Darrow continued, and "given the same conditions the same result will follow forever and ever."-
So you are telling me, that this is not a clear cut case of people trying to use science and evolution as a means of escaping the accountability for their actions? You think this is an isolated event?

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
