Because Darwin infers that we do not have an immortal soul.

ToE infers neither that we have an immortal soul or the obverse. It doesn't enter into it.

And that's the problem with its fallout on society.

Euthanasia's okay. Even murder, incest, rape, theft, adultery, etc.

There are moral implications to Darwin and that is and has always been the problem.

Wrong. All social groups, even of soulless animals, have rules of society to live by. To disobey them means death or exile in the animal kingdom. Societal law has nothing to do with whether we believe we have souls or not.

Actually, what I said was the problem with Darwinism has always been the implications of his theory; i.e. that it implies one has no immortal soul.

Splitting hairs with me does not change the historicity of EvoThink's fallout on society, no matter how you much you'd like to compare animal "societies" with Western Civilization.
