Why must religion insist on being mutually exclusive with the theory of evolution?

[-] Halasham@dormi.zone 10 points 4 months ago

Because it's a control scheme. One of the ways this method of control works is to differentiate themselves from the wider world by claiming to have some special knowledge that a commonly held facet of reality is wrong and only they understand what the truth of the matter is.

Dunno. But I guess that's because a lot of the religious discourse relies on the idea that humanity - or at least, some human group - is the special snowflake ultimate creation of the gods. While biological evolution shows that we're yet another species of animals.

The Yahweh character in the OT is a science illiterate. He freaked out when the Babylonians build a 50 meter tall ziggarut and thought they could reach outer space (100,000 meters for sub-orbital).
