And you, LurkingLibertarian, have put the last nail in the coffin about the supposed trio Stalin/Marx/ Darwin the creationists like to trot out as evidence of ?(I am not sure what their point is, and I dont think they have any point other than to link Darwins name with the 'bad' guys so that Darwin will also be 'bad')
First Highball, CarolinaGuitrman; and Dimensio crush the argument about the supposed link between Marx and Darwin..
Now you, LL, have pointed out the actions of Stalin regarding the banning of the teaching of Darwinism, and having DArwinian biologists sent to the gulag..
These evo/ID threads are highly entertaining, often good for a laugh, but also, and more importantly, these threads are extremely valuable for unmasking lies, and while unmasking the lies, providing valuable scientific and historical evidence...
This gives to us posters and lurkers with a more limited knowledge on the subject of evo/ID, the ability to see when someone is making things up, or actually has some facts and evidence to back up their claims...
Many thanks to all of you...
Although Marx and Darwin may not have shared views directly, they do hold common ground inasmuch as both tended toward disuse of theistic considerations. The former employed force of law to make his point. The latter did not. That's presently up to those disciples of his who prefer to take naturalism to its logical conclusion, like Judge Jones. Darwin would most likely be considered a theistic evolutionist, hence Judge Jones would not want him in the science classroom. Neither would Marx.
"Many thanks to all of you.."
You can pass on my thanks also
