The hypothesis of God offers no worthwhile explanation for anything, for it simply postulates what we are trying to explain.

God is an idea that people believe in and I spend time arguing with people that subscribe to that idea(man made idea).

I am not advocating a morality based on evolution.

My objection to supernatural beliefs is precisely that they miserably fail to do justice to the sublime grandeur of the real world. They represent a narrowing-down from reality, an impoverishment of what the real world has to offer.

I mean, in a way, I feel that one of the reasons for learning about Darwinian evolution is as an object lesson in how not to set up our values and social lives.
