The Intrinsic Evil of Evolutionary Humanism

In its' guise as Communism, it unleashed a sadistic anti-human holocaust of planetary dimensions. From Hitler's ovens to the killing fields of Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedung, Pol Pot, Kim Il-Sung, Kim Jong-Il, and Fidel Castro there runs interconnecting rivers of human blood.

You know, I believe she's got it.

""Environmentalism (worshipping the creation) in conjunction with social Darwinism (the scientism that validates this lethal brew)""

It's all Darwin's fault . (sarcasm)

[yldstrk]

Look, if this is another attack on the separation of church and state which is Constitutional and which all conservatives should be supporting, just give it up. I am a firm believer in God and His Son Jesus Christ, and my spouse, children and I attend church and are practicing Christians. I also believe in the separation of church and state. And I believe science should be taught in a science class. I'm from the state of Kansas, and am very disappointed in the silly notion that intelligent design should be taught instead of evolution in a science class. I have no problem reconciling science and religion, and the scientists and engineers and doctors I know don't either. Muddled thinking is the work of the Other, not of God.

[Antonello]

Wow. Darwin = all the evil in the world ping.

[Bigh4u2]

It's a metaphor.

It really doesn't have anything to do with Darwinism.

It just means that 'environmentalism' is 'evolving'.

Note: In the 60's, a group of depopulation environmentalists conspired to have DDT banned from being used to control mosquitoes and malaria. The subsequent banning of DDT resulted in millions of deaths. One source estimated the death total as 500 million.

"Really high-minded people are indifferent to suffering, especially that of others."

Well. These people must have the highest minds of all. Sounds like they still believe in God, they just see Him in the mirror.

Nobody has said that. You must be a product of the Kansas school system.

I don't think anyone has said ID should be taught INSTEAD of evolution. But it couldn't hurt to point out weaknesses in any theory, IMHO.

[yldstrk]

Actually you are wrong on two counts.

[LauraleeBraswell]

Thankyou! Darwin is not an evil. He made the point that through natural selection, certain races and ethnicities developed certain characteristics. For example, dark skin in regions where the sun is very strong. That explains why Blacks and those with darker skin have a very low rate of skin cancer. Or how about, natural immunities to disease? It explains. And Sexual Selection, what characteristics do people look for in a mate? If someone has undesirable characteristics, they might not find a mate and reproduce. That's all. That doesn't even try to rationalize Hitler's Holocaust. That wasn't natural or sexual selection.

[LauraleeBraswell]

This article equates Darwin with evil. So it is relevent.

[antiRepublicrat]

We, as a very Christian nation, indiscriminately slaughtered Indians -- men, women and children as Hitler did to the Jews (although our technology and organization weren't as good). We even shipped them off to die like the Young Turks did to the Armenians. The Christian Spanish decimated the populations of the Carribbean area.

That shouldn't have happened in this author's worldview.

[aft_lizard]

OK then tell me and provide link and quotes where Kansas wants to REPLACE evolution with ID.

[Right Wing Professor]

You know, I believe she's got it.

Logorrheic hysteria?

[Right Wing Professor]

...as long as you don't invent them, as the Kansas science standards do.

It is not so much an attack as it is an exercise in conflation. Remember, you better reject the TOE or you're just a crypto-communist!

[bubman]

I don't know but sometimes I believe Islamic fanatiscism is predicated on the fear of secular humanism. Thus, the destruction of the west is revealed as a "Jihad" against the "unbelievers".

Jihadists (and to some extent most of the Islamic world) may believe that if secular humanism i.e. atheism is left unchallenged, and they may assume that given the way Christianisty is attacked, insulted and reduced to a Parochialism, that may explain their outward hostility towards the west. They may fear the same fate as Christianity did.

Then again...

[mlc9852]

Isn't that Survival of the Fittest?

[antiRepublicrat]

Isn't that Survival of the Fittest?

According to the author, it seems that survival of the vittest is only something the evil humanists would do.

There is only a simple fact: Bad people do bad things, regardless of their religion, or lack thereof.

[mlc9852]

And the strong defeat the weak.
