Are you of the misbegotten opinion that if you can show Hitler believed in the Theory of Evolution, the observed phenomenon of Evolution and the observed mechanisms of mutation and selection/drift will just go away?

No. What I AM saying is that GIVEN the total lack of evidence for macroevolution or for any plausible mechanism for it, you must, when judging evolution and evolutionists, take into account the tens of millions of people who have died on account of doctrines which were clearly based upon evolutionist ideas. In other words, as pseudosciences go, evolutionism is a spectacularly dangerous and virulent one.

Totally false. Sorry.

Here is some evidence for you, complete with a transitional (which the creationist websites claim doesn't exist). Note its position in the chart which follows (hint--in the upper center):



Fossil: KNM-ER 3733

Site: Koobi Fora (Upper KBS tuff, area 104), Lake Turkana, Kenya (4, 1)

Discovered By: B. Ngeneo, 1975 (1)

Estimated Age of Fossil: 1.75 mya * determined by Stratigraphic, faunal, paleomagnetic & radiometric data (1, 4)

Species Name: Homo ergaster (1, 7, 8), Homo erectus (3, 4, 7), Homo erectus ergaster (25)

Gender: Female (species presumed to be sexually dimorphic) (1, 8)

Cranial Capacity: 850 cc (1, 3, 4)

Information: Tools found in same layer (8, 9). Found with KNM-ER 406 A. boisei (effectively eliminating single species hypothesis) (1)

Interpretation: Adult (based on cranial sutures, molar eruption and dental wear) (1)

"No. What I AM saying is that GIVEN the total lack of evidence for macroevolution or for any plausible mechanism for it, you must, when judging evolution and evolutionists, take into account the tens of millions of people who have died on account of doctrines which were clearly based upon evolutionist ideas.

Why?

What do you believe is macro-evolution?

What evidence do you have that macro-evolution is not accumulated micro-evolution? Have you discovered a mechanism that prevents accumulation of change?

"In other words, as pseudosciences go, evolutionism is a spectacularly dangerous and virulent one."

What makes the SToE a pseudoscience?

What's wrong? Did the theory of evolution kill your mother or something?

Tomzz, you have got to be joking! Wait, you were the Tyrannosaur Meat poster, you aren't joking. Death and destruction have followed religion all over this planet. You seriously need to take a history class. Or open your eyes and read your own bible. It is full of examples of religion sponsored murder of MILLIONS of people. Reason 349853453854863495 to keep religion out of public school.
