This is obvious in his naive blurring of philosophy and science. Political theories like socialism are not science and evolution is not philosophy. Evolution does not advocate contempt for life and nothing in the theory makes an argument for or against the existence of a god. It is the accepted scientific definition of how life came into being through the gradual development from earlier forms, from the simple to the more complex. Reese would do better to remember that one cannot make an argument for faith using scientific evidence.
Religionists believe that evil is rooted in man's lack of spirituality.
If this is true, then the Middle East should be the most wonderful place on earth to live. But in reality, it's the worst. Because of religion. Christians, Muslims and Jews constantly at war in the name of religion. The stronger one's faith in the supernatural, the more intolerant they are toward anyone who disagrees.
