Darwin is one of the greats. Newton and Einstein are right up there with him.

If God is an architect, Darwin is his general contractor.

Good evening ping!

But when we ask about the way his ideas underpinned the blood-stained policies of Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Pol Pot they change their tune

And what idea underpinned the Crusades, the Inquisition, the French Wars of Religion, the 30 Years War, etc., etc., etc.?

I hope they don’t intend to celebrate in the public square...otherwise, I demand equal representation to erect my creationist display.

So, on the occasion of Darwin’s birthday in 2009, the Darwinists themselves would likely feel a bit unhappy about that result. Rather than celebrate, they must feel frustrated at not being able to convince the public after 150 years of continual indoctrination.

He is also worm food or his body is. As to his soul....

Darwin is the antidote to the biblical concept that all men are created equal.

The missed his 200th birthday by one year. His FIRST birthday was the day he was born.

Darwinism has been used as the moral justification for so many bad ideas. He was a moderately talented taxonomist, possibly a plagarist, and the biggest ‘useful idiot’ of all time.

We should all celebrate God’s having sent His servant, Charles Darwin, to help overturn the errors of fundamentalism and improve our knowledge and understanding of the natural world.

Saw good episode on Nat. Geo. TV last night on this topic.

They pretend it is all about science but when do they make a similar fuss over other scientists, such as Newton, Kepler, Pasteur, or Maxwell?

Good point. The Darwin anniversary has nothing to do with science.

I knew when you shook Darwin’s tree lots of strange stuff would fall out, I just didn’t think it would be so bad on this post.

Happy Birthday Chuckles! In Hell.

/"But when we ask about the way his ideas underpinned the blood-stained policies of Stalin, Mao, Hitler and Pol Pot they change their tune. Richard Dawkins, Darwin’s famous promoter, put it like this, “I’m a passionate Darwinian when it comes to science, when it comes to explaining the world, but I’m a passionate anti-Darwinian when it comes to morality and politics. They want it both ways."

Maybe because using scientific theories as moral precepts doesn't make sense to begin with? The Naturalistic Fallacy states that just because things are a certain way doesn't mean they should be that way. Anyway the idea of 'survival of the fittest' predates Darwin. The phrase was coined by British Sociologist Herbert Spencer who was much more influential on tyrants like Hitler and Mussolini.

What is there to celebrate?

For you, that’s easy, you get to post 10 articles and say the same thing over and over again.

You need a chalkboard, on which you can write endlessly

Charles Darwin is a great big poopy pants (as that does seem to be what is left when you boil your posts down).

>> What is there to celebrate about Darwin’s 200th birthday?

The Darwin Awards of course.

"Keeping God out has consequences. Serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, who murdered 17 people before he was captured, said when interviewed in prison, “If a person doesn’t think there is a God to be accountable to, then—then what’s—what’s the point of—of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That’s how I thought, anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth that we all just came from the slime. When we died, you know, that was it, there is nothing … ”"

hahahahahhahaha, the moron author of this article agrees with Jeffrey Dahmer!

Remember kids, atheists have no moral compass! I know this because Christians and serial killers say it's true!
