So do you honestly think that because evolution might have led some to come up with the concept of "Social Darwinism" -- which is attempting to apply a biological system to a social order, which is never a good idea -- biological evolution is somehow falsified? That's putting the cart in front of the pig...
What I DO claim is that, given the demonstrable fact that evolution is junk science, the fact that it also demonstronstably leads to pathological social and political consequences should make anybody think pretty hard about having it taught at public expenses in our schools as if it were a fact and not a theory.

I object to any scientific construct being taught as anything stronger than a theory because nothing in science can be demonstrated better than a "theory". That's why in science gravity is a theory, not a disprovable fact.
If evolution is junk science it should be dumped for that reason alone, but I've not seen any evidence that it's junk science. Using arguments regarding the "social consequences" of a biological theory only makes it appear that you don't have any arguments against the merits of the theory itself.
