Right. More or less the response I get every time I point that out - the classic "one true Scotsman" argument. Anyone who supports evolution gets lumped in with Marx and Stalin, but you get to disclaim anyone who does evil in the name of God, because they aren't "good Christians", or whatever the particular formulation is.

Very clever, but it's still an invalid and illegitimate argument. The truth of a theory or belief does not depend on the niceness or nobility of its believers, luckily for Christians.

Anyone who supports evolution gets lumped in with Marx and Stalin, . . .

Hey. It was one of your own who tried to dissociate communism from evolutionism altogether. I merely pointed out that historically evolutionism is the world view of choice for communists.

Do you believe there is no historic realtionship whatsoever bvetween evolutionism and communism?

He repeatedly claims that "all of science" disproves evolution, that "all Nobel prize" winners (in the relevant categories) disprove evolution,

There is not a single word of Christ that can be used to justify mass murder or any of the evils attributed by atheists against Christianity. However, there is much in Darwinism, in evolution, in atheism which supports mass murder and the crimes of totalitarian regimes such as eugenics, racism, and a general disregard for human life.
