It's interesting that anti-Darwinism can lead to anti-captialism -- i.e. socialism. I think fundamentalists tend to be socialistic and not captialistic.

It's interesting that anti-Darwinism can lead to anti-captialism -- i.e. socialism. It's generally recognized that Darwin was influenced by Adam Smith. Even a big-time creationist website (Institute for Creation Research) has this article posted:
Darwin's Influence on Ruthless Laissez Faire Capitalism.

I've always thought that the popular fundie term "materialist [blank]" sounds a lot like the classic Soviet caricature referring to Americans as "capitalist [blank]".

I think fundamentalists tend to be socialistic and not captialistic.
There are some extreme counter-examples.
I grew up with the kids of some of them in an "oil-town".
They were millionaire oil-company executives and big-time elders/deacons
in the (mainstream) Churches of Christ.
But you do have a point. I've been suprised by some of the socialist leanings
of some fundamentalists I've met. And their willingness to sit out elections.

"It's interesting that anti-Darwinism can lead to anti-captialism -- i.e. socialism. I think fundamentalists tend to be socialistic and not captialistic." An interesting comment. Can you give some definitions (e.g. what is fundamentalism...at least, the fundamentals, so to speak) and some examples?
