Your problem Mcgrath is that no divine command or teaching states we are to follow scientists or their conclusions. They are mere humans subject to the sin and corruption that entered the world at Adam's sin.
There are divine commands and teachings to follow God, Jesus, and the Bible. In fact, there are verses teaching us to NOT follow the unbelieving world. Since Darwin rejected God and in his own words stated that his 'conversion' never took, anyone following any form of evolutionary teaching would be following an unbeliever and deceitful teachings.
Your choice is not to repent and turn back to God or continue following lies.

"Your problem Mcgrath is that no divine command or teaching states we are to follow scientists or their conclusions."
Your problem Tee is that the internet where you posted your nonsense was created using the conclusions of atheistic scientists. Everything you post on it affirms the superiority of science.
1. Prove sin exists
2. Prove your God is the true god.
3. Evolution is supported by evidence, therefore I accept it; I don't just "follow" what scientists say unquestioningly, they have to back up their claims with evidence first.
Fundies, of course, think the ToE is a religion so I can see why you made this error.
Look up "scientific method", and "peer review".

- Scientists have something better on their side, tangible results.

And yet it wasn't until these mortal, corrupted mere humans used science that they were able to conquer numerous diseases and even exterminate small pox. God just sat around with his almighty thumb up his almighty ass as his most fervent believers suffered horribly and prayed for his to help. Even if God exists he's either retarded or malicious and we are clearly better off using science than expecting that moron/douchebag to do anything useful.
Lesson: use science if you want something accomplished, use God if you want his image in a slice of toast (if you squint hard enough).

That's not how science works. The origins of a theory don't completely determine its validity in the future since it's subject to intense scrutiny and criticism. Even if Darwin was actually trolling the world with On the Origin of Species and all of his writings were intentionally false, the research done on evolution since then has suggested that, on the whole, it's a very solid explanation (obviously there's debate and uncertainty about some of the finer details).
This is a great example of how evolution is not, in fact, a religion. Its proponents do not worship the important people in its history and do not consider them to be infallible. They use their own talents to test the theory in ways. As opposed to many religious scholars, who will only accept things that affirm their belief and are unwilling to consider things that question its validity.
There are divine commands and teachings to follow God
And those "divine commands and teachings" were supposedly made by whom? Right, by God. So your God is basically saying "follow me because I say so".
Could you please quote an independent divine source for those "commands and teachings to follow God"? That would make things a little more reliable. Oh, you can't do that?
So what are the "commands and teachings to follow God" you mention worth if I don't believe in God. Chicken shit, that's what they're worth.
...no divine command or teaching states we are to follow scientists or their conclusions.
I'll call you, "Dr." Tee, and raise you...
There is no US of A law, legal command or requirement of any kind that states we are to follow a faith, dogma or religion; its adherents or their conclusions.
The 1st A just stipulates there can be no state-established religion nor can the free practice of religion be prohibited (along with speech, press, assembly, etc.).
Your problem Mcgrath is that no divine command or teaching states we are to follow scientists or their conclusions.
There's no divine command to take a crap, either. That's why you're full of it.

"There are divine commands and teachings to follow God, Jesus, and the Bible."
Where divine means the drooling acceptance of any old inane rubbish written by spittle-flecking, beardy, sand nits. Slavering awe for the banal and trite utterances of canting zealots whose rabid fever dreams pass for profound insights among the lowly tee boys of this world.
Doctor Tee - doctor of brackish infusions for the gullible and the ignoble and master of divine gibberish.
Again with the "God didn't tell us to follow science" claim. If you're not a hypocrite, you should not be using a computer connected to the internet to type this. Using modern technology is "following science," so you fail.
It doesn't say you are *not* to follow scientists or their conclusions either. This is how you are able to get religious scientists and scientifically-minded priests.
The fact of evolution is independent of Darwin, it would be just as factual if he had never existed. I don't understand the point about "conversion". Darwin was born into the Church of England and later became agnostic. He was never "converted" to anything.
Fuck, why doesn't Cole just electrify his sorry ass?
...Oh, wait, wrong McGrath. Carry on, everyone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
