From what I have been able to tell, since this guy’s name has been in the news, we have had a fairly high number of quotes being proferred from the book.

The context, or lack thereof, has reminded me a bit of some of your creationist friends taking Origin of the Species out of context.

Forced sterilization is not a tenet of evolution. Your attempt to make it appear so is disingenuous.

We’ll seeing how some of the most celebrated evos were all for forced sterilization and other forms of population control, I was just curious where the modern-day Evos on FR stand on this issue.

Regarding: “Forced sterilization is not a tenet of evolution. Your attempt to make it appear so is disingenuous”

I don’t know what GodGutsGuns is attempting to imply, but what I wonder about materialistic evolution (the idea that the universe “evolved” by a non-designed, ramdom, purposeless process outside the control of any diety or supernatural influence) is:

- Assuming you hold a materialistic evolutionary view, if materialistic evolution is true, isn’t “morality” also part of the purposeless, random process?
