Résumé: | Abstract. Through autobiography, I explain why I cannot accept conventional Christianity or any other form of religious belief. I sketch how, through modern evolutionary theory, I try to find an alternative world-picture, one which is, however, essentially agnostic about ultimate meanings. I characterize my position as being that of “David Hume brought up-to-date by Charles Darwin.” I express sad skepticism about ever realizing the hopes on which Zygon was founded. |
