why do Darwinist scientists so strongly reject the implications of a created universe?

Follow that thought. If there is a designer, there was a reason for what was designed. That means you are'nt the greatest thing in existence. It also means that some (or one) manner of living may actually have an advantage over others.

It means maybe, just maybe, a certain responsibillity for moral actions may be in the works. And that concept can be terrifying. Almost as terrifying as ineveitable, complete non-existence.

Re your #144. Bingo. Moral relativism rests upon the non-existence of a created universe or a creator, no absolutes, no purpose, no accountablity. At the same time Darwinism applied in the social context is seductively attractive because it justifies the power, wealth and privileges of those at the top of our "meritocracy." Equally seductive is the idea that through evolution the human race may perfect itself without divine intercession. Few today want to admit that we human beings are flawed and ought to be humble and obedient to the creator of this marvelous universe.
