Character assassination? Like this?

Like accusing everyone who disagrees with the ToE as theocrats who what to send us back to the dark ages?
Like calling everyone who disagrees with evolution a creatard, creatoid, IDiot, Idiac, evil, demented husksters, and ignoramuses?
Or of being anti-science and spreading lies about people around FR as if they were true?
Or doesn’t that count?
Oh, I don’t think you even have to disagree very much with Evolution Theory to rate those glowing commendations, mom (actually, I don’t believe I’ve ever been accused of demented huckstering, but the others sound familiar). I can hardly quarrel with natural selection. It paid for five years’ college tuition. As for the rest of it: I think there is a ways to go before any serious value judgments can be drawn from Evolution Theory. I think the Masters of the Universe have a lot of work left to do on their theory, and, aside from the practical side of it (like genome sequencing – work that would have been done in any event), I don’t see where their precious theory has ever done me a lick of good.
But, it’s done all of Mankind a lot of harm. It’s lead otherwise reasonable men to conclude that it’s perfectly OK (morally imperative even) to kill the unborn, for any reason or no reason at all. And even the born, up to the age of one, two, three (what is the currently fashionable upper limit?) if they are bloody inconvenient or somehow incapacitated (it’s a “quality of life’ issue don’t you see). Next up on the hit list; the aged, of course, and the incapacitated, whatever age they have attained.
It doesn’t end there. Others have been impelled to conclude that dear old Mother Earth is over-populated and have given themselves, to the enthusiastic cheers and acclaim of colleagues and students, to public speculation over the most efficient method of exterminating 90% of the human population (the unleashing of highly infectious diseases on an unsuspecting populace being the most popular solution).
It’s caused others to posit a devaluation of human life leading to a greater equality with non-human life (hello PETA!). Leading another to declare that humans are no better than bacteria. Still others have developed a virtual laundry list of conclusions arising from their scientific investigations: 1) No gods worth having exist; 2) no life after death exists; 3) no ultimate foundation for ethics exists; 4) no ultimate meaning in life exists; and 5) human free will is nonexistent; these declarations being so self-evident that no further discussion is required.
Charming lot, aren’t they.
ECO: thanks for the ping!

Programmed cultists ignore their projections and hypocrisy, metmom.
