The bottom line is that evolution is a tool of the left, used to destroy the notion that our rights don't come from a creator and are inalienable, but that they stem from human reason and understanding and thus are flexible and able to be subverted.

Yes. That makes sense.

This 150 year-old scientific endeavor was created and perpetrated to confuse people as to where rights come from.

Please re-read the sentence as posted:

"evolution is a tool of the left, used to destroy the notion that our rights don't come from a creator and are inalienable"

The poster did not say the evolution had beed *devised* for that purpose, but that it has been seized upon or wielded by some Marxists and their ilk.

To some extent, that is true; much as post #2 in this thread says that many of the sexual scandals in the Catholic Church (as well as, say, liberation theology) were part of a deliberate effort by Marxists to subvert the influence of the papacy worldwide.

But that is a separate issue from the evidence for and against; just as the presence of Al Gore in the debate is not disposative of the discussion of global warming.

Cheers!
