"Far from being a scientific theory of recent origin, evolution was an established religious belief at the heart of occultism and mysticism thousands of years before the Greeks gave in "scientific" status. And the central core of the ancient mystical theory of evolution is the lie of the serpent to Eve in the Garden, the belief that we are evolving ever upward to godhood... [Additionally], Evolution, as the core belief of Hinduism and witchcraft, is at least as old as the theories of reincarnation and karma, in which it is a key element."
This would seem to be the source for an interesting statement in "Dr. Dino" Kent Hovind's doctoral thesis submitted to a correspondence diploma mill, that Satan brought the theory of evolution to earth with him as a serpent in Eden.
Darwin didn't publish the first theory in which evolution and common descent figure, but he first identified variation and natural selection as causes and included considerable supporting data.
ROTFL! This is seriously funny! Who is this guy?
