jujuman2 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 On "Wild Honey", Bono sings....."In the days when we were swinging from the trees, I was a monkey..". On stand up comedy hesings..."God is love and love is evolution's very best day". What does the U2 fan make of this? Darwinism? Intelligent Design Theory?Neither? Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Frankaz 329 Posted May 14, 2009 Subscriber Share Posted May 14, 2009 Wild Honey is not about evolution, you read too much into that particular line. He's talking about being joyful. Link to post Share on other sites

Um, yeah, it would matter for some of us who believe that much of U2's music espouses a Christian world-view, with which evolution theorywould be wholly inconsistent.

censoredally 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I will be so profoundly bummed if I learn that U2 is a rallying point for anti-evolutionaries. Is this true??? It can't possibly be! They are too educatedfor that, aren't they?? No....it can't be them. Some of their fans, ok, maybe. But them??? No way. Can't be. Link to post Share on other sites
censoredally 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 This cannot possibly be the case. President Obama named Bono one of the "most influential people," and I am confident he would not have done this with someone who represented a 14thcentury, anti-intellectual world view. Just because they are "religious" does not mean they are not modern and educated! Link to post Share on other sites

censoredally 0 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 It might be time for B to become more sophisticated and nuanced in the presentation of his religiosity if hewants to continue to have it define his public persona and benefit from that-- and not be run out of the 21st Century! He started to do this in his latest NYTeditorial--kudos! The debates and paradigms of the last 2000 years are oh oh so so very very tired! Link to post Share on other sites
