Darwinian atheism is also a religion


Ha ha. But to tell you the truth, I am FED UP of India being OBSESSED with religion. I cannot fathom this beyond a point. It is a crazy, all-consuming obsession. The real minority are the Darwinian atheists, and no one gives a damn for them. https://t.co/Mlt4d0rmFV

Sick of religion yes. But you have no choice - you cannot possibly survive with Muslims and Christian converts around you unless you highlight or forego your identity which you never cared for otherwise. It was our Christian neighbors who told my child that she was a Hindu.

Darwinian atheism is also a religion when is steps out of strict confines of biological research. Eugenics after all is Darwinism applied to social sphere. It doesn't have a pretty history.

Disagree. What you say is true but it is because of a terrible misreading of Darwinism, and in the domain of Social Darwinism, that ironically Darwin warned against but of course he didn't coin this phrase. Communist atheism is a kind of religion, not Darwinian atheism.

Darwinian atheism is a religion too as it relies on belief in its various postulates leaving its followers blind when it comes to understanding life and universe. In contrast Sri Aurobindo's Integral evolution theory has a meta framework that explains a lot more.

Seriously: read #Aurobindo on #Darwin’s limitations. He gets Darwin totally & then reveals its totally unconscious & flawed construct. BTW, SA insights have great relevance in totally clueless debates re GMO/genetics. @nntaleb should dig into it.

I suggest Ranga Sir to read ‘Hints of self culture’ written by Ghadar fame Lala Hardayal, this classic volume deals with different subjects and how to apply them on human life, @unityarvind Sir has written a great article on this topic of Darwinism by referring this book. https://t.co/HcXgDj7BVE

Science and technology made a steady progress during their lifetime (1872-1973), but The Mother & Sri Aurobindo remained steadfast in their reliance on self-culture for all changes including transformation of the body. Besides, they took enough pains to write to subvert narrative
