All I was doing, Aric, was drawing out philosophical implications of the worldview called Darwinism - as seen through history. The abuses of the church powers didn't come out of Christianity but more politics than anything.

What does it tell us about the proper penalty for murder? What foods does it say we should or should not eat? How does it advocate we spend our free time?

And the perversion of a scientific theory for political gain was the same.
It is NOT a worldview, it is a scientific theory, and claims to be nothing more.
It has no moral implications, it just is.
It does NOT claim to have the answers for all of oour human problems, it just seeks to explain the scientific evidence and how it fits together.
You use the SAME argument for the church, but cannot for some reason see it in that way when it comes to a scientific theory. Fascinating.

(If the history of science shows us anything, it is that we get nowhere by labeling our ignorance god)
