Perhaps you should learn a little science before you try to lecture folks on it, eh?

How about we lecture you about mathematics:
Your beloved Darwinists have murdered well over ONE BILLION human beings in the last century.

Maybe you should just go back to your anti-FReeper site and tell the other atheists that Christians are drying to interfere with the Satanic Darwinist agenda again.

Science wasn’t the problem with the Nazis, the Soviets, or the Chinese. If it were, why didn’t Britain or America become murderous totalitarian states? And don’t say that it’s because Americans are so religious, because so were the Germans, Russians and Chinese.

The problem, in a word, is utopianism. The belief that humans can build a perfect world, and that any act to bring that about is an acceptable means justified by the ends. Utopians hang their hats on a variety of hooks — “Religion” and “science” being the most popular. In both cases, they are perverted to serve utopian goals.

I am not afraid of religion, and I am not afraid of science, but I am afraid of any group of people who believe that they can use either to perfect mankind, if only given unlimited power to do so. There will always be good and evil, there will always be some folks richer than others, and there are always well-meaning folks who want the best for the most people, but disagree on how to achieve that.

Politics is a state of permanent dynamic tension, and there will never be a finish line. The wisdom of the masses is often wrong, but it corrects itself better and more easily than a rigid dogmatic utopian elite.
