Creation Moment 10/31/2024 - a “secular religion”

Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 

Romans 1:21

"Michael Ruse, of Florida State University, is a rabid anti-creationist. But in his book, The Evolution-Creation Struggle (Harvard, 2005), Ruse acknowledges the religious dimension to evolution. 

A review in Science journal summed it up:
‘Michael Ruse interprets the last 200 years of conflict between

biology and religion as a struggle between evolutionism and creationism. Evolutionism is not merely an endorsement of the scientific theory of evolution. It consists of “the whole metaphysical or ideological picture built around or on evolution,” including a belief in progress and attempts to reduce cultural and ethical values to evolutionary biology. As such, it constitutes a “secular religion.” Thus, for Ruse (a philosopher of science at Florida State University), the debate over creationism is more a conflict between two religions than one between religion and science."
