Should Evolution be considered a religion?

Any and all religion is based on faith. Evolution is just as much a religion as is Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism. As much as the evolutionist wants to believe it can be proved it can't. The problem is the news media takes every thing that a scientist finds and makes a comment on as being a fact for evolution. It seems to me that the news media is more experts than are the scientists. Most evolutionists can't see the missing facts. so In my opinion it is a religion just as the others are.

Religion has nothing to do with evolution. Evolution is a theory that has been proven time and time again. They have even found the missing link. Religion is belief of some entity that may or may not exist. One is science and the other is just a want to believe in something so you can face eventual demise. Science and fiction shouldn't be confused. No evolution shouldn't be considered a religion as it isn't.

I believe that religion and science are like two sides of a coin. One looks at one side of the penny and sees a face and says the coin is a picture of a face. The other sees the building on the back and says no it is clearly a picture of a building. They both argue and are certain that the other is wrong. In fact, they are both right and yet simultaneously they are both wrong. lol. I think to find the truth religion and science need to work together. Instead of spending so much time and energy fighting they should both seek the truth together. I would not consider evolution a religion but rather another way of examining life.

Hi edgyk8inmomma, Evolution isn't a religion. Religion is based on faith in a higher power. Many people believe in evolution, but I haven't had it explained to my satisfaction. For me evolution does not disprove God, as some people think. Blessings.

I agree with the above poster evolution and religion aren't two things that really relate to each other. I am no expert on evolution but have studied it and I really believe everyone is partially right in their theories, just the hard core religious are too stuck on a literal belief of the Bible. There's no reason God can't be behind evolution. This might be a good movie for you to rent. Its a good look at Intelligent Design Vs. Evolution: http://www.flockofdodos.com/

no evolution should not be considered religion at all, in fact evolution should be considered anti-religion. the simple reason for this as that evolution is virtually a fact and the evidence is overwhelming. all religion is really, is a superstition based upon old wives tales and fear. i am not trying to have a go at religion here i am just trying to explain why evolution can never be a religion. calling evolution a religion would be like calling maths or algebra religion. they are sciences which is a million miles away from religion one interesting thing about evolution is that we are the only species that has stopped physically evolving because evolution is no longer a forced process for us, and we will vary more and more as a specie as time goes on. science has already got all the answers to evolution except the really small details at the start of evolution. if you really look hard into evolution studies you will find it to be almost full proof except what actually started it in the 1st place. this starting point, many religious scientists like to say it was divine intervention that got the evolution ball rolling and that religion can fit in with evolution, but as always science has to bend over backwards to allow religion to be possible. there's my 20cents worth for you

"all the standards of a religions base"-come off it? you could say that about drinking a cup of tea the dogma is scientific procedure- procedures are in place to objectify, recheck and ensure all evidence is correct and accurate-which is pretty much the opposite of religion where nobody is allowed to question it. "sometimes its a common thought, ie scientific evidence or proof" - are you pulling my leg here-are you comparing one mans idea with scientific evidence? "people gather together"-so every time you are with other people that is a religion? is my work a religion-is going to the pub my religion? "people follow religious faith as only plausible theory" there is a good reason scientists have shot down all religious theories-because not one of those theories has a scratch of evidence or any back bone to them-if they came up with something plausible then science may actually have a challenge from religion instead of the scientist just laughing it off as ridiculous. when it come to evidence-you cant really argue in favor of religion-all they can say is you cant disprove god-there are a lot of things that cant be disproved, but that doesnt make them real where as you cant argue against visual evidence. evolutions biggest evidence is DNA-if you look into this edgy momma you will understand how scientists are able to prove of our evolutionary history- in a response to robs brooklyn girl- we did not evolve from monkeys and apes-monkeys and apes both evolved from the same species that we did, which i guess makes them our cousins-by the way thats why we have a tail bone because we used to have tails-probably for balance as we swung through trees like tarzan lol-we were a cool species than
