Its not what I think. Its clear that it is a cult—a religious one.
Firstly, its foundation is man's word interpreting and glorifying Nature denying any higher authority than 'her laws' and the 'scientists' (prophets of science) who declare her wisdom to us all.
It does not permit rational criticism or civil debate, and ridicules any who dares question the authority of the spoken word of its prophets.
It segregates and ostracizes family members who disagree with the major tenets of 'Scientific theory', like the Big Bang, evolution, life on other planets, etc..
Let's not forget the main purposes of Secular Evo Science are 1) to overcome death and live forever, and 2) to gain godlike knowledge and power.
Coincidentally, these two exact same goals were what Satan tempted Adam and Eve with in the Garden—causing their demise.
Genesis 3:4-5 NLT — “You won’t die!” the serpent replied to the woman. “God knows that your eyes will be opened as soon as you eat it, and you will be like God, knowing both good and evil.”
See, when mankind doesnt learn from History, we are doomed to repeat it.
