Get serious. Hasan certainly is a terrorist, but Charles Darwin wasn't. I would go so far as to say that it was opinions like yours that turned Darwin away from organized religion, but not away from his belief in a Creator.

Charles Darwin was WORSE than any terrorist - he turned future generations against the Creator, and totally ruined pure science - just look at the anti-God dreck that has passed for science over the last century!

That is one of the more extreme(ist) positions I've seen posted. It is bordering on hysteria. Are you implying that Charles Darwin invented Communism. Long before The Origin of Species and The Communist Manifesto The idea of a classless, stateless society based on communal ownership of property and wealth stretches far back in history. Karl Marx saw primitive communism as the original, hunter-gatherer state of humankind from which it arose. There is considerable evidence of this in primitive societies. Other early examples include Pythagoreanism and Plato's The Republic; and to the early Christian Church, as described in the Acts of the Apostles Other attempts to establish communistic societies were made by the Essenes and by the Judean desert sect. In 1620, the Pilgrims had tried communism and abandoned it after only one year.

The Catholic Church is a proponent of Theistic Evolution. Surely you are not implying that Charles Darwin turned Catholics against God are you?
