Good grief. What a bunch of twaddle.
Argue with the quotes then... ignore the twaddle.
I’ll do you one better... actually read it. No way you had time to before posting your comment.
And yes, I am.
Please include yourselves in the debate if you wish... and invite friends. I want to know what they really think about Darwin.
Hellish pretty much sums it up. Lock and load people.
Pure tripe.
Got the Nazi = evolutionist point right in the title this time. Didn’t even wait for the minions to do it.
Evolution is perfectly compatible with Christianity.
Soylent Green . . . the shape of things to come
Show me the difference. Call it tripe but there are many more quotes I could post. And besides... why would I wait for the minions when Darwin’s own words draw perfect parallels?
You’re the evolutionist... care to show me where Darwin’s theory and his writings are consistent with Christianity?
You might make me a believer yet.
You are mistaking the sociopolitical strategy of eugenics with the scientific theory of evolution.
Eugenics is the desire to kill your enemies under the defense of improving the culture.
Evolution is the scientific theory that those creatures who die before reproducing cannot pass on their genes, and therefore only those who survive the destructive pressures of their environment do, in fact, pass on their genes, and as a result, the only genes left have been "naturally selected" for survival.
In other words, evolutionary theory is merely the observation of a fact so simple it cannot be discarded - even by anti-evolutionists, because dead things don't reproduce, while genetic change occurs with every birth.
The extent of the influence of the evolutionary process, on the other hand, can be easily argued, because science itself cannot show such the evolution mechanism as adequate to explain many of the developments that are pointed to by anti-evolutionists.
Eugenics merely uses evolutionary concepts piecemeal to serve a collectivist agenda that seeks the authority to exterminate those who would challenge the ruling elite. In this, the link between eugenics and evolution is fraudulent, because eugenics is not scientific - any eugenics selection process is completely biased by the motives of the power group which desires it's use as justification for mass murder.
The difference between what you are doing and pimping your blog? Nothing.
Why I said it's twaddle. The Nazi party enbraced mysticism,reincarnation, and the paranormal. TToE and science is exactly the opposite.
Well said.
I took the time to read it - it’s twaddle all right
Honestly? I’m flattered you would notice I have one. Actually? I wanted to post it only here but have gotten tagged before for not having a source.
Jealous.
Jealous? Not hardly - just fed up with egomaniacs trying to drive traffic to their crappy sites.
The religion that most Darwinists embrace wholeheartedly and without question is in fact about as much mysticism as any.
TToE is a religion of pure faith.
Incorrect assumptions... if you read Darwin you find that the survival of the fittest is not a passive thing, but an aggressive act. Though he did not support the killing of weaker beings, he clearly believed that the act of doing so was part of evolution itself. He also pointed out in great detail the inferior and superior qualities of humans based on race, sex, health, handicap and physical abnormalities.
And along with this, he made it clear the proper way of nature was to eliminate the inferior to promote the strong.
If you wish to qualify his statements as something more or less you have to employ spin, selective memory or revise history.
No faith needed. Just pick up any basic biology book and read it without your preconceived notions.
FYI; I taught at a university and not once did I feel the need to let “faith” enter into the mix during any of my lectures. Yes we solved for unknowns (and some have no solutions as of yet), but we used math (many a differential equation crossed my path not to mention Riemann curvature tensors), logic, and the scientific method.
Again, I’m flattered that someone with such an outstanding ego would consider mine something to be admired.
I just hope to God that my ego is stronger than yours so it has a chance for survival in the battle of egos.
My battle cry from this point forward... Leggo my ego!
