Retribution as a moral principle is incompatible with a scientific view of human behaviour. As scientists, we believe that human brains, though they may not work in the same way as man-made computers, are as surely governed by the laws of physics. When a computer malfunctions, we do not punish it. We track down the problem and fix it, usually by replacing a damaged component, either in hardware or software.

So murderes are not evil, they are just rocks that have fallen in the wrong direction. This is the ultimate end of evolutionists. To prove that men are nothing more than random chemicals and have no more intrinsic value or responsibility than rocks or water.

If an Islamic terrorist blows up a bus full of children then he should no more be punished than if he was a boulder who fell on the bus on a mountain road.

At least this guy is willing to admit where evolutionary theory is taking all of us. It is the road to hell.
