Lysenko and the Tragedy of Soviet Science by Valerie Soyfer explains the history you are so woefully ignorant of.

The Communists rejected Darwinism and genetics in favor of a Lamarkian mechanism championed by Lysenko.

In the Soviet Union you could (and would) get sent to Siberia if you taught about genetics or Darwinian evolution.

My Molecular Genetics teacher was banned from teaching in Russia and was only allowed to immigrate into the USA via the intercession of Ronald Reagan.

So the ONLY people who say the Soviet Communists rejected Darwinian evolution are those with KNOWLEDGE.

Something you are evidently lacking...... in spades.

Once again, when I use the term Darwinism, it IS NOT synonymous with evolution.

And for the record, in the Soviet Union a person could get sent to Siberia for ANYTHING.

Read up on Stalin, he pushed Darwin on those closest to him.

So the ONLY people who say the Soviet Communists rejected Darwinian evolution are those with KNOWLEDGE.

Again, Darwinism and evolution ARE NOT SYNONYMOUS.

Something you are evidently lacking...... in spades.

First you accuse me of LYING and now you suggest I'm lacking knowledge (though you have yet to even acknowledge that eugenics is a prime component of Darwinism). I did not originally post this in Religion, I would prefer that it not be in Religion, but since it is I will abide by the rules of the Religion Forum. Are you aware that such rules exist?
