100% huh? I've heard that before but I doubt it. I know a professor of biology at Texas St. Univ. in my church who is Christian and creationist. That's one example right off the bat. Nevertheless, the scientific community has bene wrong many times - phlogiston comes to mind.
Just because (almost) all of A believes in B, does not mean B implies a belief in A. Evolutionary theory is in no way dependent on secular humanism, and many religious people (including devout Christians) acknowledge that evolution is good science.
There is a definite correlation. I would bet that you may be lucky to find one single secular humanist who believes in creationism. I didn't say evolution it was dependent on humanism, but evolution is a wonderful and convenient refuge for all of those god-haters out there.
Evolutionary theory says none of these things. You are either drawing false connections or repeating a mantra that has been passed on to you.
Didn't say it did. But atheists do flock to it. Marx and Stalin sure loved the theory. It must be the law of unintended consequences, hmm?
That's because you don't want to know it. Look up Project Steve on the internet. I'll say it again: almost 100% of biologists acknowledge evolutionary theory.

And what peer-reviewed journals are his articles on creation published in? They're not. I don't even know if what you say is true - if so, then I'm sure he's not considered reputable when it comes to biological origins.

Plenty of secular humanists believe in UFO appearances and psyshic powers. These concepts are just as ridiculous as creationism and deserve about the same consideration. Crap science is crap science.

Wow, so you're saying knowledge can be abused, huh? Not a new revelation. All the more reason that evolution needs to be taught accurately in our schools. Plenty of tyrants have been creationists, too. Remember, it was creationists (and strict Biblical literalists) who executed Christ.
I have news for you - a mindless random process like evolution does not impute any intrinsic value to human beings.
I have news for you - it's the job of science to find facts, not to "impute intrinsic value to human beings". That's the concern of other arenas. Just because you can't impute intrinsic value to human life in light of biological facts doesn't mean other people can't.
Why do you think there is such a crisis in our youth today?
The moral crisis in today's youth is because of evolutionary biology? Wow, this is really good stuff.
No wonder the young mass murderers in our schools do not value life. They are taught that it's meaningless.
Just a quick question - if we blame evolutionary biology for school shootings, does that mean we should blame creationism for incidents of incest? After all, creationist theory says we're all here because Adam's son Shem had sex with his sister. That doesn't sound very moral to me.
