Darwinism speaks only towards the development and diversity of life, not those of morals, ethics, or political policies. "You can't get an 'ought' from an 'is'." However, if you are actually interested in an answer to your objections from a Darwinian perspective, I highly recommend "The Moral Animal" by Robert Wright. Unless, of course, you enjoy making baseless attacks, in which case I would avoid any sort of scientific literature.

I am not an expert on Darwin, but I have read Origin of a Species and Journey of the HMS Beagle. I also have taken a few courses in systematics and classification. I do not know anything about you since you give no info on your page. I am not trying to draw a parallel between Darwin an socialistic principles. I was only trying to debunk some leftist arguments in favor of Darwin. IMHO this is too complex a topic to debate in 5 to 10 sentence rebuttals. At this point I regret ever getting involved with this thread.

P.S. Do I love my niece, or am I only encouraging her survival because she carries approximately 25% of my genes?
Hell, what about my own kids? Food for too much thought.
