I don't know about you, but I'm getting really tired of these oblique pseudo-sceintific threads trashing Darwin. The discussions always degenerate into food fights between factions. It would be tolerable discussion if the basics regarding evolution and perhaps Biblical references to creation were discussed with fervor but in polite exchanges, but this constant ridicule and condescension from both sides is grating in the 'mein'.

The problem is, the well is poisoned from the start (IMHO) in this thread, because it starts with the fatuous proposition that the theory of evolution is to blame for the excesses of the 3rd Reich. I don't know how to respond to such absurd nonsense without coming across as condescending, because the combination of logical fallacies and historical ignorance required to support the proposition beggars belief. My failing perhaps. Maybe I shouldn't have posted anything at all, but then that would leave lurkers with the impression that Freepers buy this BS.

When the opening ploy is a non sequiter, there isn't much distance to go.

Scripture is not a counter argument to science.
