Thank you so very much. Lets hope people's eyes are opened before it is too late, if it isn't already.

LOL. Sound familiar?

anytime a christian starts on an anti-darwin rant they immediately lose credibility. i support science and the things science has given us. i will not support a return to the middle-ages and the burning of those whose work contradicts religious dogma. the sun does not revolve around the earth and darwin was only observing god's work regardless whether that bothers illiterate preacher wanna-be.

i am a veteran and a member of the nra. if you lose my vote (and other pro-science republicans) with your wacko agenda you lose control of the presidency and the congress. nutjobs like this are as dangerous as radical liberalism...

2 Chronicles 7:14: "if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

As for me and my housejold they shall follow the Lord!

Yes, we must obey the morality delivered to us in the word of god.

That means you must keep Kosher, now!

No pork for you! God tells us in His word that it's wrong to eat pork.

And don't forget to sing loudly:

"Happy the man who shall repay you the evil you have done us! Happy the man who shall seize and smash your little ones against the rock!" (Psalm 137:8-9).

Woooo whoooo!!!

Extremist secular fundamentalists.

Something evil comes this way.

You can't be serious, evolution and Darwin are not even mentioned in the article that I noticed. It would seem you are the extremist here my friend.

Richard Lewontin was a professor of mine. A Marxist, but a nice guy. We were assigned the project of writing a paper as to whether or not there was a correlation between IQ and race.

(“God who gave us life gave us liberty. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only basis, a conviction in the minds of people that these liberties are the Gift of God?” The second, William Penn, cautioned soberly, “If we will not be governed by God, we must be governed by tyrants.”)

Suffering the tyranny of the minority ... judges, gays, EPA, ACLU, turncoat senators, pacifists, anti-war, pro abortion, etc, etc, etc,

[jwalsh07]

I take that back, evolution and Darwin are mentioned exactly once but in a peripheral way. This article is not about science, it's about philosophy.

[SedVictaCatoni]

You can't be serious, evolution and Darwin are not even mentioned in the article that I noticed.

Are you kidding? The author states that America is threatened by "militant atheism and transnational socialism fueled by Darwin’s theory of evolution".

[Atheist_Canadian_Conservative]

Sigh. Some people just look for any excuse not to understand science. So out comes this hit piece.

Screw the militant atheists (there are some) and also screw the "Christians" who try to label anything secular as being evil or without morals. Both groups are delusional and ignorant, and will stay that way.

Finally getting some decent weather in NE CT. Nice parade today with the grands. Chopper flyover, religious floats, liberal politicians, atheists, crosses, black, white, hispanic, Jew, Christian, even a Muslim or two. And nobody advocating the the banning of anything or anybody. LOL

I'm familiar with Lewontin, obviously you are more so.

Have a good weekend. JW

[Torie]

Same to you. Pieces like the above annoy me because well, they are so Manichean and extreme, and broad brush. I don't like grand unified theories. But then you already knew that would be my take. :)

bump

[jwalsh07]

Are you kidding?

No.

The author states that America is threatened by "militant atheism and transnational socialism fueled by Darwin’s theory of evolution".

Right, I saw that on my second reading. I don't see that necessarily as an attack on the Theory or Darwin but as an attack on those who erroneously use Darwin and the TOE to their own ends.

The absence of any scientific discussion at all would seem buttress that opinion, no?

[jwalsh07]

Acourse!

Screw the militant atheists (there are some) and also screw the "Christians" who try to label anything secular as being evil or without morals.

Who labels everything secular as being evil or without morals?
