The terrorist WE are facing are Islamic terrorists from the Middle East not Sri Lankan communists. Communists, if they know any Biology at all, are Lamarckians not Darwinists. Neither are the Tamil Tigers the “vast majority” of terrorists.

Still no evidence to support your asinine contention that the “vast majority” of terrorists are “Temple of Darwin fanatics”.

The vast majority of terrorists claim to be Islamic, quote Islamic scripture as their justification, and are applauded by large segments of Islamic society for their murderous acts.

Education for Middle Eastern terrorists doesn't include evolution, they are taught Creationism.

Complete balderdash. The Communists adopted Darwinian evolution starting with Marx and Engles, right through Lenin. Stalin then adopted the ideas of Trofim Lysenko, one of the most incompetent scientists who ever lived. Lysenko, true to form, did a hatchet job on the ideas of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, who, despite being an evolutionist, was one of the most brilliant naturalists who ever lived (and who, coincidentally, is making quite the comeback these days).

Moreover, Stalin adopted Lysenko's ideas at a time when the majority of Western scientists had completely abandoned Darwin's fairytale in favor of rival evolutionary theories, with Lamarck's theory leading the pack. Indeed, things got so bad for Darwin's fairytale that Huxley referred to the period as the "eclipse of Darwin." The Soviets finally abandoned Lysenko's brand of pseudo-lamarckianism and readopted Darwin in the late 1950s/early 1960s.

And wouldn't you know it, the Temple of Darwin is once again in panic mode, because an ever growing number of their fellow Evos are threatening to abandon the HMS Beagle in favor of a new, very Lamarckian sounding mechanism known as adaptive (read: directed) mutation.
