That's funny, I'm a strong believer in the theory of evolution, and last time I checked, I've been solidly pro-life and anti-euthensia my whole life. The same can be said for my whole devout Roman Catholic family. The same can be said for the Pope, and most of the Popes in modern memory, who say "Darwinism" is compatible with Christianity and are so adamantly opposed to the taking of any human life that they don't even support capital punishment for convicted killers.
I took alot of heat on this board for supporting Mike Huckabee for President. I disagree with Huckabee on creationism as many of the Fred Thompson supporters disagree with their guy on McCain-Feingold. Huckabee got attacked alot for supposed being a mean nasty "bigoted" Christian, but I can safely that's say not true because Huckabee NEVER attacked the morality of those who disagreed with him on evolution, unlike your very first post in this thread.
Post no. #8 and #14 hit the nail on the head. Evoking the bible as Jesus to preach hatred and stereotypes of people who disagree with your views is no different than what Obama's pastor Rev. Wright does so well. He could have just have easily delivered the same sermons against Darwin's teachings by saying "the German government LIED about using Darwinism as a means of genocide against Jews and people of color! The government lied!!" and "Ben Stein knows what it's like to be living in a country and a culture owed by, and controlled by, rich, powerful evolutionary scientists!"
The ironic thing here is that most of the Islamic fundamentalists Muslims are hardcore believers in the bible view of creationism, yet they have no problem embracing the culture of Death and strapping dynamo's to their kids and preaching racial superiority against "the Jews", do they? Fortunately no "evil-utionist" in this country would stoop so slow as to blame creationist beliefs for their suicide squads.
Perhaps you were not clear on what I meant by Darwinism. I view evolution as a COMPONENT of Darwinism; however, there is far more to it than that.
The Darwin family (Charles Galton and Leonard Darwin) developed and advanced the eugenics movement and it is this movement that can be DIRECTLY LINKED to over ONE AND A HALF BILLION DEATHS worldwide in the past century.
I’m not really interested in any creation vs. evolution debates. I don’t think they resolve much and few minds are changed on either side. Additionally, what actually happened in the formation of the universe and everything in it is the truth whether we believe it or not.
