Where do the atheist evolutionists here sit with GM foods?
I have spent 4 hours at a xmas break up arguing the virtues of an unrelated topic (pesticides) which digressed to this topic.
I would be interested to hear an argument beyond insufficient testing that an atheist could hold

Herakles

Could you please explain what the hell you are talking about?

impious

Which part?
GM foods or why I am interested in the atheist evolutionist view of them

GunnerJ

It might have been helpful for you to explain that "GM" stands for "genetically modified." And unless you have some specific way in which you want to relate the subject to evolution, I'm going to move this to another forum.

I'm assuming that since atheism and evolution have little to do with the political debate about genetically modified foods, that we're all over the map on this subjects.

Do you want an argument for or against GM foods?

impious

GM has been the standard prefix that precedes such products for as long as I have discussed them. Im not going to presume simplification is required
I did not ask for or intend to debate the political ramifications of GM foods as per my original post. What I did ask for was what view the atheist evolutionist holds in regards to these products. The obvious point being can an atheist evolutionist disregard these products for any other reason then insufficient testing?

RufusAtticus

An "atheist evolutionist" can disregard them for whatever reason he or she wants.

You seem to be assuming a lot about "atheist evolutionists" that you are not telling us. Perhaps if you could be more verbose, we'd be able to give you a better answer.

impious

My bad
Disregard these products on the basis of the modification

I can not spot a single assumption in my posts , where exactly are these assumptions concerning atheist evolutionists?

Dr Rick

The implicit assumption in your op question,

...is that an "atheist evolutionist" position on GM exists. It's sort of like asking, "what is the Muslim biologist view"? At most, you may safely assume that atheist evolutionists do not believe GM foods were created or approved by any deities or that they are a product solely of evolution. Beyond that, you'll find a wide range of opinions on GM foods here.

RufusAtticus

Like I said before, they can disregard these produces for what ever reason they want.

Well the assumption that there is a "atheist evolutionist" argument against GM foods or that "atheist evolutionists" who don't like GM foods need some sort of "atheist evolutionist" argument against them. Etc.

Like I said before being an atheist and/or an evolutionist has no bearing on the political debate about GM foods.
