An interesting article in some ways. Who or what is "screwtape"?

While I agree that the Marxist adoption of Darwinism and Evolution gave power to their twised ideology that alone is not sufficient to make evolution untrue.

To me the more interesting question is assume that evolution is true, how do we create a moral society anyway.

To say "you can't" I am afraid condemns us to a future that is less than it could be.

I believe it is a reference to "The Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis.

[Given that G-d-free evoluion is true] how do we create a moral society anyway? To say "you can't" I am afraid condemns us to a future that is less than it could be.

That's two questions, the second being implicit, both are hard to answer I think. The second question is to you, btw -- that is "Why do you say that that ignoring any role of G-d in creation and continuing development of a moral code is the only way to be all we can be?"

Who or what is "screwtape"?

A statement of the poster's erroneous belief that the author is fit to refill C. S. Lewis' inkwell.

"how do we create a moral society anyway."

Whose morality...Christ's or Nietsche's? You can easily have Nietsche's morality without God, in fact, it demands Athiesm, or at least, a cruel, unforgiving God.

How does one build Christian morality from scratch, without God or the Bible?

Screwtape is from the book by C.S.Lewis, "The Screwtape Letters". It is a fictional series of letters written from a senior demon to a junior demon named Wormwood who is on his first assignment; that of keeping a human from converting to Christianity. It is his advice on how to destroy the human and human race. It's been years since I read it but some of what Lewis wrote those many years ago, still applies today. Much of what he sort of *predicted* has come about. He really seemed to have a sense of where liberal thinking was going. I haven't read the book in years, as I lost my copy and haven't got around to buying a new one yet, but that is what I remember. I actually liked it best of his writings, apart from Chronicles of Narnia. I generally don't care for the rest of what he wrote. Looking at your question about creating a moral society, leads me to think that you might enjoy the book. He addresses stuff like that.
