I've always wondered how evolutionists can eat meat. After all, what's the moral difference between humans and creatures that we eat? If we stem from the same ancestor, why is one considered "sacred" (in a sense) and another not?

I've also wondered how evolutionists cannot be racists. After all, Australian Aborigines, for example, very well could be less evolved versions of those fully-human. Where are the less-evolved forms of humans or new-humans? Is it right or wrong to see them as deserving of less rights than those fully human?

It seems very problematic, morally-speaking, to believe in evolution. Seems like an evolutionist wouldn't be able to challenge Hitler's (and Nietchze's) superman....

Strawman 1: eating meat. Humans have several million years of hunting in their past. What did you think they were eating? (Homo erectus word for "bad hunter" -- vegetarian).

Strawman 2: Australian Aborigines. They are fully human, and it is rude of you to suggest that "evolutionists" would think otherwise. I have met a few and they were all pretty nice folks. You could learn a lot from them.

Strawman 3: where are the less-evolved forms. Extinct.

Strawman 4: where are the new-humans. Nonsensical question. They are us. Look at the changes in teeth (potential loss of the third molars) that may now be underway.

Strawman 5: favoring Hitler's superman. Now you're getting insulting. Why don't you just call us Nazis and be done with it?

From your post you appear to be an anti-evolutionist searching for any way to attack the theory of evolution, most likely because it does not agree with your religious belief.

In the future you might try to stick to what the theory of evolution actually states, rather than making up silly objections.
