Name them. Name ONE. For that matter, name ONE doctine "based on Darwin's ideas."

(hint: Naziism, Fascism, Communism are not based on TToE).

Sir Arthur Keith (Evolution and Ethics) noted:

The leader of Germany is an evolutionist not only in theory, but, as millions know to their cost, in the rigor of its practice. For him the national "front" of Europe is also the evolutionary "front"; he regards himself, and is regarded, as the incarnation of the will of Germany, the purpose of that will being to guide the evolutionary destiny of its people....

Keith was an evolutionist looking for some way to reconcile evolution and ethics and he never found it because it wqasn't there to BE found. Newt Gingrich basically laid it out in noting that the question of whether a man views his neighbor as a fellow child of God or as a meat byproduct of random processes HAS to effect human relationships. An evolutionist has no rational basis for morality.

You say you don't like hearing about naziism? What about cannibalism? This is what the famous evolutionist Jeffrey Dahmer had to say on the subject:

"If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all came from slime. When we died, you know , that was it, there is nothing..."

How disingenuous can you be? It is clear the meaning of "evolution" in this context is meant figuratively. Sheesh, you debate like a Creationist (i.e. all logical fallacies).

Your example is not fact-based, but rather an opinion about an opinion. It does nothing to buttress your argument.

This is what the famous evolutionist Jeffrey Dahmer had to say on the subject:

"Cannibalism?" Dahmer was not a "famous evolutionist." He was a famous whacko serial killer. The fact he trotted out a bizarre excuse that involves the word "evolution" is meaningless. He also said God made him that way. So I guess that believing in God makes one a cannibal? You are grasping at straws.

Wrong. The purpose of morality is to protect rights. Rights identify the those elements of the essence of man that are essential to his existence as an individual. It's that simple.

Sir Arthur Keith (Evolution and Ethics) noted:

So rather than find a quote of someone else's opinion on Hitler and evolution (even though that is not the context of evolution in that citation, another creationsist misrepresentation; when will they stop lying), can you find a 1st person reference? Something directlky attributable to the Nazis? Hitler never made any, not was there usch elements in the Nazis platform. If you look at the history, Hilter and the Nazis are revealed to have a warped creationist philosophy. It seems creationists have the same difficulty finding evidence for the political machinations of evolution as they do to support creationism. Unless, of course, one considers creationism an example of creative art.

ROTFLOL. Equating evolution with cannabalism is a new low for the anti-evolution side.

You must find morality to be inherently irrational if you believe that. Morality is logical.

Anyway, this particular evo follows the moral code of the Dharma.
