People going around with the Christian symbol with Darwin in it.

Yes. If Darwinism is not religion, or is not at least a shot at Christianity, what's the point? The Darwin symbol, mocking Christianity, that we see on the back of autos speaks volumes as to what the Evolutionists are really all about. I've considered buying one of those Darwin symbols and placing it upside-down, feet in the air, on the back of my vehicle, but that has to do with my warped sense of humor, not science ... ;-}

Something makes me doubt that Darwin Fish is an evolutionist, although he does mock what he considers to be false doctrines quite a bit. Personally, I think he's a crackpot, but then again, he's not an evolutionist, so that's someone else's mess to clean up...

I'll agree with you there. People supportive of the rational side of the Evolution/Creationist debate should not engage in the mindless irrational bumper sticker wars, since it lowers the rational side to the same level as the children who think God is best served by recruting from the ranks of those swayed by bumper stickers.

An more basic level, of course, the only reason people decorate their vehicles with bumper stickers and dead fish is to proclaim their membership in a particular tribe, an aspect of human nature that evolved out of an aspect of our territorial instinct. Waving flags, dressing for success, nose piercing, having ashes smeared on your forehead on a Wednesday, sticking a dead fish on a car, and sticking an anti-dead fish are all markers of tribalism.

It also connotes vanity, one of the seven deadly sins.

I have a license plate on my car. That's it.
