Teach a kid that they have evolved from apes, and you are surprised when they go shooting at school. As C.S. Lewis wrote, “We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.”

Avowed deep religeous conviction is denser in prison populations than it is in the general population. Perhaps we should ask the anabaptists, the gnostics, cathars, witches, templers or islamic occupiers of the holy lands what they think of the theory that christians represent a higher order of ethical restraint. Hard to see why I should bother to behave decently when I can just seek salvation thru christ once I've grown tired of sinning.

Aside from being balderdish, this has little to do with whether evolutionary theory is true or not.

I'm really getting bored of this thread now.

I'm not surprised.
