Reply #17: Blasphemy is a manmade, dualistic concept. The Universe & Nature

[KittyWampus]

operate according to Principle not moralistic concepts.

One might say that environmental destruction runs counter to an efficient use of Nature and thus, in the long term, doesn not reflect the fullness of Nature's capacity to express Intelligence.

But then, my answer is an intellectually honest attempt to explore Nature, Evolution and the valid propositions held forth in Intelligent Design.... and your opening post was, at heart, a rhetorical question designed to get nothing more then "that's right" and smug slaps on the back showing approval of your disdain for any approach to Science that veers from Materialism and Reductionism.

If you want to expose the hypocracy of the Far Right Religious fundamentalists, then don't espouse a Scientific Philosophy that rewards those who think of Nature and Universe as machines and soley as physical objects.
