Why is evolution listed under ‘spirituality and religion’?

It should be listed under science

While I kind of agree, evolution like science is a belief that few actually want to "believe" in it.

This shows itself in all the political turmoil. For many have their own "interpretation" of what science is. Then some just don't believe in science. And that itself is a "belief".

@DeWayfarer If only it weren’t for all that pesky evidence which needs to be completely, consistently, and coherently explained

Not interpreted.

Explained

Science is a methodology... a set of methods through which we can ask questions of the universe and know how much confidence to place in the answers. It’s the best way we have to keep from fooling others and, more importantly, to keep from fooling ourselves (as Richard Feynman pointed out)

It’s difficult to see why anyone would object to that

@newjaninev2 because the methodology contradicts their beliefs. They assign science as a whole as a "belief". And justify it as it's own contradiction.

"Belief" is its own contradiction. You can not, not believe in anything.

Science: you can not prove a negative!


Yet belief negates itself!
