Materialism sets us free from sin-by proving that there is no such thing as sin. There's just antisocial behavior, which we can control with measures like laws and educational programs.

To philosophical materialists God is no more than an idea in the human mind, and not a very important idea.

Most importantly, I agree that the truth of these matters should be determined by interpretation of scientific evidence - experiments, fossil studies and the like.

As a theist I believe that God exists and that God creates.

A crush is just as simple as admiration. You get attracted to another person and time can allow feelings to grow more into something more than that.

Truth as such is not a particularly important concept in naturalistic philosophy.

Science...has become identified with a philosophy known as materialism or scientific naturalism. This philosophy insists that nature is all there is, or at least the only thing about which we can have any knowledge. It follows that nature had to do its own creating, and that the means of creation must have included any role for God.
