Charles Darwin and the children of the evolution

Why do so-called Christians continue to attack Charles Darwin the man and attribute horrors from the Holocaust to teenage suicides to him?

[cerberus]

It’s called ignorance.

[Schnucki]

Trolls. :p

This was an article by a Brit reporter in the science section.

This just in! Mathematics was used by the Nazis! Thus, Archimedes was a Nazi!

>>It’s called ignorance.<<

Not just ignorance. Willful ignorance.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You are just asking for a cat fight aren’t you.

It is true that the theories of Darwin are not, in the strict sense, reasons but rather excuses for these horrors; nonetheless they do provide a convenient philosophical foothold for proponents of these horrors. Science and philosophy are not easily divorced.

You know that is a good one and true, it sums up very well the posts about Darwin.

You are correct, although this ignorance stems from government education; this selective cognoscente filtering is deliberate in design.

Most anti-TToE (and especially anti-Darwin) posters haven’t met a logical fallacy they haven’t loved.

Be careful about what kind of corner you paint yourself into, bud.

The Nazis used mathematics to figure out how to get their bombs, ammunition, aircraft, etc. where they wanted them to be.

The Nazis did NOT use Darwinism in the same sense. Think about it.

Thanks for showing us your own ignorance.

[Schnucki]

I'll never understand the hyper-sensitivity of evolutionists. It's as though you folks don't really believe in it either. :)

If darwin was right, what have you got to worry about? Why the outrage and insults if you're guaranteed victory by evolution? Who can possibly harm you or your evolutionary progress? Is evolution somehow threatened by Christianity? :-D

Ad hominem is usually the first to be deployed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Indeed you came forth with it first.

Please reread my post for comprehension this time.

“...Archimedes was a Nazi...”

Cute, however a non-sequitur.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Don’t complain about attacks on your own character if you attack the character of others. Deal in that coin, get paid in that coin.

[The_Reader_David]

Ignorance, but whose?

The article, if you’d troubled to read it, quotes at length from teenage suicide-murderers who, themselves, attributed their actions to Darwin’s ideas, and quotes an 1881 letter from Darwin to a friend that jolly well sounds like he approved of ‘eugenic’ genocide.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That is a lame way of saying you made a non sequitur argument.
