I'm sorry, but you have totally lost me. Science is not religion, nor vice versa. You can't blame one of the primary theories forming the framework of biology today (as well as several other disciplines) for the actions of evil people;

The All-Time, Ultimate Evolution Quote

"If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway. I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all came from slime. When we died, you know , that was it, there is nothing..."

Jeffrey Dahmer, noted Evolutionist

Basically, evolution and atheism provide no logical basis for morality. A Christian or a Jew could form a logically coherent argument against the reasoning which Dahmer cites above; an evolutionist could not. And please do not insult my intelligence by claiming to be a "Christian evolutionist", a Jewish nazi, or anything else like that from the realm of fairytales.

I seriously doubt Hitler or Stalin sat down and thought "We evolved! Therefore it is perfectly acceptable to kill people by the millions!"

Then you better read up on your history a bit, because that is precisely what happened. Newt Gingrich once said that the question of whether a man views his fellow man as a fellow child of God or as a meat byproduct of random processes and "natural selection" simply has to effect human relations. Hitler and Stalin were nothing more than evolutionists who were willing to follow the doctrine to its logical conclusions.

Wrong: Only atheism provides no logical basis for morality. Evolution is not religion, it is a scientific theory and, as such, as no more relevance to morality than Einstein's theory of relativity, or Galileo's theory of a heliocentric universe, or electromagnetic theory, etc. So Jeffrey Dahmer believed in evolution. So what. I'll bet he also believed in electromagnetic theory and heliocentricity. So what. Ditto for Hitler and Stalin.

I am a Christian, and I am a scientist. Apparently, you are of the opinion that belief in both religion and science are mutually exclusive. That's your problem, not mine.
