The believers in the religion of Science will never be convinced that their pernicious world view is just as destructive as Islam.
What a world we will live in when all that governs the affairs of men is the doctrine of the “survival of the fittest,” better stated as “the law of the jungle.”

Pure nonsense. The evil that rules some men's souls existed long before Darwin came along, and would still exist if Darwin's theory were somehow proved wrong.

The Bible says God created the heavens, earth and all its creatures. It does not say HOW He did it. Science, including Darwin, have been workking to understand that.

Bottom line: science is not a "religion," but "creationism" certainly is, and is NOT science.

I Hereby demand as a believer in the Great religion of Science that you desist equating our Noble Path to the vile cult of Peace :)

Let me assure you the Theory of evolution refers to an explanation for how biological species developed and has nothing to do with governing the affairs of men or mass murder.

If you hate science so much then please tell me, what color do you paint your cave?

Oh boy do you willfully ignorant ignoramuses not understand a thing. "The law of the jungle," which I take you take to mean knock down drag out battles to the end whenever beast meets beast and "evolution" are not the same thing at all. One of the things that evolves is the emergence of the rules of social interactions (dogs, monkeys, etc.). Survival does not mean being the strongest predator, unless you are a preditor - and being a predator is a pretty tough life actually if you look at lions, for instance. A male lion has about the worst job description in the world, with a short tenure and when the axe falls it really falls.

The evolution of rules of social interaction to ensure the survival of a society is a significant part of evolutionary theory. Ever watch a pack of wild dog, for instance? While they are ruthless hunters, it really is one for all and all for one in the pack with fair sharing of kills and ensuring that the young get their due portion.
