Stalin: 13 MILLION+ deaths.

You do know that Stalin banned the teaching of Darwinian evolution, and sent evolutionary scientists to the gulag, don't you?

Yes, I am well aware that Stalin considered scientists to be enemies of the state, but he fully embraced eugenics.

But, if it makes you feel better, we can remove Stalin’s name from my list, we still have a minimum of over 960 MILLION deaths in less than a century.

Which is why the evos or scientists should not be on the side of eliminating Christianity from our culture.

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.

Where did you get this idea? Stalin and Lysenko disapproved of Mendelian genetics (because it was incompatible with Darwin's Pangenesis) and also Weismann and Morgan because these two were critical of Darwin's theory of Pangenesis. Lysenko's theory of heredity was a re-habilitation of Darwin's theory of the inheritance of aquired characters (pangenesis). Scientists who talked too much about Mendel and chromosomes ended up in the Gulag. In addition to that, J.B.S. Haldane, one of the founders of the Modern Synthesis, was a Stalinist and an apologist for Lysenko. He was actually some kind of leader in international Stalinism and his name comes up in the reports of the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

All the more reason to help the Christians fight Obama -- the leftists actually put you in concentration camps, which is worse than getting banned from FR for mouthing off to Jim Robinson because he won't play along with your self-proclaimed intellectually superior circle jerk on *his* site.

But you apparently are too "bright" to have noticed...

Cheers!
