| "Humanism is in tune
with the science of today. Humanists therefore recognize that we
live in a natural universe of great size and age, that we evolved on
this planet over a long period of time, that there is no compelling
evidence for a separable "soul," and that human beings
have certain built-in needs that effectively form the basis for any
human-oriented value system." |
What is Humanism
Frederick Edwards |
| "Humanism, drawing
especially upon the laws and facts of science, believes that homo
sapiens is an evolutionary product of this great Nature of which we
are a part; that our minds are indivisibly conjoined with the
functioning of our brain; and that as an inseparable unity of body
and personality, we can have no conscious survival after death." |
