"By nature, evolution gives rise to horrific uses."

Nonsense. Hitler was a creationist. Stalin had Darwinists killed. Marx wrote The Communist Manifesto 9 years before Darwin published. Racism, militarism, and statism all predate Darwin. Darwin himself was a moderate. free-market Whig who found slavery disgusting.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that some people have taken evolution and used it in social policy to a negative end; that in NO way counts as evidence against the theory from a scientific standpoint. Just as I don't think that creationism leads to a pro-slavery position just because a creationist on a different thread said that slavery was not a moral issue and was not wrong. And the fact the voices of the other creationists condemning him were deafening in the silence.

It's not nonsense - look at my other posts for reference.

You can know a tree by it's fruit.

Slavery is a complex issue historically in that some slaves had more money, authority and power then most free men. Some slaves were the tutors of kings. American slavery was an abomination.

Darwin himself was a moderate. free-market Whig who found slavery disgusting.

The Institure of Creation Research (I don't make this stuff up you know) has pointed out he was also a gun-nut who shot animals

He also wrote in his autobiography, "How I did enjoy shooting" (p. 55), and "If there is bliss on earth, that is it" (quoted in Browne, p. 109). He even declared: "My zeal was so great that I used to place my shooting boots open by my bed-side when I went to bed, so as not to lose half-a-minute in putting them on in the morning" (p. 54).

And AIG has pointed out how Natural Selection is bad because it justifies free-market capitalism.

And some FReepers think conservatism is supported, nay required, by Creationism
