I call the readers’ attention to the examples on this thread of blatant irrationality on the subject of evolution. One of my key points is that Creationists and most I.D. believers abandon the critical approach to knowledge or intentionally distort that approach in order to hold their beliefs. This is bad enough in an individual. It's worse when that sort of irrationality is spread in the culture.
There are a lot of open questions concerning evolution, human consciousness, morality and the like that deserve serious, honest and critical examination. We should apply a rational methodology in all cases and to all questions. After all, socialists will not be able to uphold their beliefs if this method is applied. But when religious conservatives abandon it in favor of faith on an issue like evolution, they perpetuate the irrationality that harms the culture and allows bad guys on the left to make headway.
Darwinism has had a destructive impact on the education & practice of the soft sciences. Rather than doing the scientific the way it's supposed to be done, disproving hypothesis & theories, allowing evidence to speak for itself, we find attempts to plug all evidence into the current model.
