I Don't Think There Is Any Religious

I Think That What One Can See From A Darwinian Account Is How The Addition Of Culture In Our Species Turns Us Into A Very Special Sort Of Animal, An Animal That Can Be A Moral Agent In A Way That No Other Animal Can Be.

When People Ask Me What Philosophy Is, I Say Philosophy Is What You Do When You Don't Know What The Right Questions Are Yet. Once You Get The Questions Right, Then You Go Answer Them, And That's Typically Not Philosophy, That's One Science Or Another. Anywhere In Life Where You Find That People Aren't Quite Sure What The Right Questions To Ask Are, What They're Doing, Then, Is Philosophy.

People Ache To Believe That We Human Beings Are Vastly Different From All Other Species - And They Are Right! We Are Different. We Are The Only Species That Has An Extra Medium Of Design Preservation And Design Communication: Culture.

In The Long Run I Certainly Hope Information Is The Cure For Fanaticism, But I Am Afraid Information Is More The Cause Than The Cure.

Whereas Religions May Serve A Benign Purpose By Letting Many People Feel Comfortable With The Level Of Morality They Themselves Can Attain, No Religion Holds Its Member To The High Standards Of Moral Responsibility That The Secular World Of Science And Medicine Does!
