Why can we all just appreciate life, nature, our wonderful planet and the beautiful people & creatures we share it with, instead of wasting time arguing Evolution v Creation?
The ability to appreciate life, nature, etc. is not a given — it develops as an individual matures and refines their ability to *see* things as they are. To some degree, that maturing is a process that involves trying out different viewpoints and engaging in lively debates, etc. As the process of cognitive development causes the shedding of superstitions and misconceptions, ones’ intellectual appreciation of life reinforces their perceptual appreciation of life… the tapestry becomes richer for being understood better. Far from detracting, these arguments offer the potential to expand the mind, and thereby the capacity to appreciate.
