Anyway, I'm constantly amazed by the shallow thinking of people who argue from the consequences. Even if evolution really does lead to atheism, abortion, divorce, and films about gay cowboys, that still doesn't mean the theory of evolution is false, that therefore evolution didn't really happen.
It's sort of like arguing that National Socialism is a murderous ideology, which, if it were ever implemented, would result in massive deaths amongst certain groups of society. Obviously, this consequence of National Socialism would be really horrible, so therefore the Nazis didn't really exist and the Holocaust never really happened.
Put like that, it's clear that such an argument doesn't even remotely begin to make sense - "I don't like (what I see as) the potential results, so therefore it didn't happen". It's purely nonsensical, and not much different than believing you can wish some inconvenient aspect of reality away merely by choosing to disbelieve it.
true, true.
It's not like "atheism, abortion, divorce" never happened pre-Darwin. Or racism, slavery, treating people like animals, whatever.
In the last two days alone, I've seen the ToE compared (unfavorably) to abortion, the Waco massacre, and cancer.
(Gay sheepherder movies, on the other hand, are exclusively post-Darwin)
