I agree with you on socialism and global warming.
But evolution. It's a fact, pal. Deal with it.

You must be kidding!! Even Darwin came back later in life and said that people "took the ramblings of a fool and made them into a religion" (paraphrased). He also said that to look at the human eye, with all its intricacies, and not believe that there is a divine architect, is truly absurd. I suppose you believe in the big bang theory too!! If that is the case, then let's blow up a printing company and see if a book is produced in the rubble!! Get a life man . . . but better yet, get a relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and that truth will set you free!!

Dittos on that.
The late 19th and 20th century was hit with 3 big ideas - Marx, Freud, and Darwin - that have generated huge controversy and intellectual ferment.
It turns out 2 of the ideas were pseudo-scientific and false: Marx and Freud. The Socialist left is enthralled with both, as evidenced by, even today, humanities profs with "marxist" this on the official titles. Yet Marx was wrong on his Theory of Value, his predictions, his understanding of capital, and much else. He was wrong.
Freud's theories have been debunked and superceded, even though for some time psychoanalysis held back progress in understanding the physical/chemical basis of psychosis, but his pseudoscientific mind model have been coopted by leftists and anthropologists etc. to project their own attempts at cultural (Gramscian) transformation, even as neuroscience and therapy has moved way beyond his now obsolete ideas. Sexual repression in the sub-conscious from childhood memories as the source of all neurosis was hoo-ey but that wont stop feminist radicals from using it in non-scientific ways to advance cultural/political agendas.
But Darwin hit on the metaphor that has unlocked understanding of a host of things in the biological world.
Curiously, the left is allergic to the social implications of Darwinism (eg Social Darwinism, it's economic equivalent which is really free-market economics, etc., and now the "Socio-biology" angle) I find that distinction interesting.

I figure Evolution and Creation are both faith. G-d could have created the bones in the earth yesterday to confound us. He could have created us in the last 5 minutes with all the memories we think we have for the same reason.
I just think, for the sake of integrity, that people who don't believe in Evolution should be denied the products of the science that they abhor. No vaccinations. No antbiotics. No internal combustion engines. No bioengineered crops. No air conditioning. And the list goes on. And they can try to heat their houses with dephilogistated air.

Evolution is a fact?!!!!! Great except for one thing, there is absolutely no proof what soever. Try again when you find that ever missing link.
