Let me back away from the blanket statement that Nihilism and Atheism kill. These structures of belief open the door to mass murder. And "survival of the fittest" leads to "might makes right".

Athists are not natural born killers. I don't think anyone is. But atheists are, at minimum, glaringly wrong. Nonetheless an apology is given herewith if anyone feels one is needed.

Well, I knew that asking for one wouldn't work.

No the 'rub' is that you believe the theory is somehow a threat to you. -- Why?

How can a theory that has been refuted by both fact and logic be a threat to me? And it is the Darwinists who behave as though threatened (name calling, jeering, Creationist-bashing etc.).

I asked for a logical answer. I see you cannot comply.

I was in fact a naive believer (of sorts, I suppose) in Evolution for some 3 decades before looking into its claims. When I "woke up", I was quite angry at being lied to by "society".

Socialists lie, granted. They have a reason. There is no reason to lie for a theory. You imagine one.

Beyond those who without much thought feel they must defend "the scientific mainstream", there is an Atheist agenda at work AND, as shown by the 20th Century, Nihilism and Atheism kill. I thus oppose the "theory".

~Hype~. Any fanatical belief can lead to mass murder.
Evolutionary theorists are not fanatics, [most could care less what individuals believe, imo.]; -- but groups of zealots prove the opposite to be true..

And "survival of the fittest" leads to "might makes right". Athists are not natural born killers. I don't think anyone is. But atheists are, at minimum, glaringly wrong. Nonetheless an apology is given herewith if anyone feels one is needed.

Your zealous, almost fanatical convictions are apparent.
Heed the words of a wise man:

"The continuous disasters of man's history are mainly due to his excessive capacity and urge to become identified with a tribe, nation, church or cause, and to espouse its credo uncritically and enthusiastically, even if its tenets are contrary to reason, devoid of self-interest and detrimental to the claims of self-preservation.
We are thus driven to the unfashionable conclusion that the trouble with our species is not an excess of aggression, but an excess capacity for fanatical devotion."
-Arthur Koestler-
