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.

Beleif in heliocentrism did not cause Dahmer to kill people; belief in evolution did. Those are his own words.

Evolution is junk science with known pathological social and political consequences.

No, nothing in that quote linked Dahmer's belief in evolution to the fact that he was a psycho homocidal maniac. If believing in evolution causes people to become homocidal, then why aren't there countless millions of cannibalistic killers out there?

Last I checked, I still hadn't killed anyone. Nor had any of my colleagues at work, "evolutionists" all.

Actually, I dislike that term "evolutionist." It sounds too much like a religious term, which it is not.
