I am certain religions are man made But I am not certain if evolution is real

Maybe we are flesh robots made by bug aliens or smt idk

History is written by victors. Those who wrote a science fiction book called bible might have written another book (in a different form) called science, since science appears like religion 2.0. Hence my desire to confirm

You can see it seems like religion 2.0 because nobody properly questions it as you can see below hah !

    The thing that makes something ‘scientific’, rather than ‘faith-based’ is that it can be proven wrong. Think of it as our best guess so far, rather than some incontrovertible truth.

    I am sure a basic search will return plenty of well researched and evidenced books on evolution.

    As an aside I will say that I heard an interview with a data scientist whose recent work had found that genetic mutations weren’t random (in some way). Which could potentially throw an interesting wrinkle into the theory of evolution, lol. The bloke I heard interviewed stressed his paper had not yet been peer reviewed, and, iIrc, really just pointed towards the possible need for more research. I am just mentioning this as a bit of an aside.

      I really like this reply because it’s simple, to the point and factual.

      It’s a bit dense and redundant, but Dawkins’ The God Delusion explains quite well the differences between “Mount Improbable” and “Mount Impossible.” That said, I’m a little religious, in an unconventional way, and still find it a decent explanation, if a bit redundant on certain points. But I can see why.
