"So because I accept a theory in biology that is well-supported by evidence, I'm sharing the philosophy of Karl Marx? What an utterly absurd connection."

You should at least be aware that Marx wrote this:

"Although it is developed in the crude English style, this [On the Origin of Species] is the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view."

In other words, Karl Marx saw Darwinian evolution as one of the keys to the communist revolution that would take over the world. You did know that, right?

I'd say old Karl was quite the visionary.

And we haven't even gotten to the Nazis yet.

You views share interesting company.

Marx was an opportunist. The theory of evolution has no political implications whatsoever. Only an idiot or a liar tries to claim that a theory in biology logically lends credence to any political system and only someone truly dishonest tries to bring up communism in a discussion of evolution. It shows that you don't actually have a sound argument against the biological theory and are attempting to smear it through guilt by association.

The theory of evolution does not, in any way, suggest that communism is a good political or economic system. Marx claiming to like the theory does not create connections that the theory does not make.

And we haven't even gotten to the Nazis yet.

Oh, I eagerly await the dishonesty you spew when you attempt to "prove" that the theory of evolution logically leads to Nazism.

As do you, considering that you share beliefs with Islamic terrorists.
