Why does this issue keep showing up on a political BBS?
Because the ID crowd (or at least a subset of it) turned it into a political issue by pressuring political officials to support their cause.
Excellent question.
It got old 3 years ago.
Stepping back and looking at a bigger picture, this is a cultural issue, and the left is notorious for forcing their agenda through the political process.
Darwinism is simply another tool of the left to use to deconstruct the Christian worldview that made this country and society great.
It keeps showing up on a political site because the teaching of evolution as the method of species generation is a political argument more than a scientific one.
Apart from Scripture, man has no clue as to the origin of life or specific species. Scripture tells us that man is prideful and does not want to acknowledge God - Darwinist macro-evolution demonstrates this.
No sane person argues against “survival of the fittest” or “adaptation of species to their environment” - within the limits of the species. So-called micro-evolution.
But macro-evolution exists only in the vain imaginations of man. The many hoaxes perpetrated by advocates of this fairy tale demonstrate how desperate men are to “disprove” the Biblical revelation of Almighty God.
Darwinism in the mind of Hitler killed my father in WWII and millions of others who were considered ‘inferior’ in the struggle (mein kampf) for the survival of the ‘fittest’. Whatever your views about Darwins racist ideology, Hitler loved it as to others who view the survival of the fittest ideology as the basis of their political views.
It is in the topics ‘Religion’ and ‘Science’ which seems appropriate to me.
