Eugenics is an example of what happens when politics misuses science, not that science is evil.

Why not say that it is an example of evil scientists? And, by the way, it was the scientists who were pushing for eugenics laws. Not the state pressuring the scientists.

Attempts to link evolution with Communism should be posted with a Keyboard Alert.

None of my ‘crevo’ friends would dare attempt that argument. Indeed, I suspect that were such an argument to be advanced, they would join me in calling the psychiatrist treating the person advancing the argument and ask that said persons’ meds be adjusted STAT.

“Evos = Commies ? ? ? ? ?

The key is to understand what presumptions we are accepting. As an individual and as a group (whether scientists, political, religious) we hold presumptions both consciously and unconsciously.

These presumptions establish the basis for our reasoning. These presumptions can lead to truth or they can lead to error.

We can arrive at a proof yet the proof can untrue because we have started with untrue presumptions.

The potential that science and religion have for arriving at untruths is they are both unaware of their presumptions and that changes in these presumptions will bring about different proofs.

The major presumption that creationists adhere to is the 6 day creation. One that is debatable. The major presumption that evolutionists use is that all creation cannot be the product of God or any other intelligence.

Here try this.

Oh, and Darwin Medalist Haldane, the co-founder of the modern synthesis, was a Stalinist. And an apologist for Lysenko.

They want activism and unatural subsidy of their politics in the name of natural selection... indeed.

This is the essence itself of witchcraft and its evil yoke. “Natural” remedies at a high price.

"What about this sort of evil?"

Sadly, the practice of weeding out the unfit goes back to ancient times. One thinks of the Greeks exposing their children, or of Spartan military training, where only the fittest survived boyhood.

And sadly, the practice of exterminating whole families, tribes, nations & races goes back to the beginnings of history, if not before. Technologies & ideologies change, but the results were the same.

Mankind didn't need Darwin to practice evil.

Evolutionary theory is the only theory that never evolves.

Of course, which is why I am posting on a thread about Lamarckism.

On the other hand:

"The influence primarily responsible for the modern eugenics movement was the establishment of the doctrine of organic evolution following the publication of Darwin's Origin of Species in 1859."

- Samuel J. Holmes, Human Genetics, 1936, chapter 25.

Marie Curie - Her achievements include the creation of a theory of radioactivity, techniques for isolating radioactive isotopes, and the discovery of two new elements, polonium and radium.

According to many intelligence reports – Islamic terrorist groups have been trying to obtain (or have obtained) radioactive materials in order to make “dirty bombs” for attacks on US cities.

Therefore, Marie Curie is an Islamic terrorist – or would be if she were still living.

Commies, atheists, Nazis, it doesn't really matter much. As long as it's sufficiently perjorative it'll get used.

Darwin is not sold it is enforced. Now the whole of we the people, government, is under their modeling system and we have a Bama nation. The 'intellectuals' are now in charge. We shall see how long there is enough 'bailout' dollars to maintain fitness.

You CAN still have faith and NOT be close-minded.

Don't forget. She was also a Madame.

As a practising Christian I really don’t see why people have their knickers in a twist over “Darwinism”. Evolution an Creation are ideas that comfortably coexist. Evolution explains how things happened, and Creation explains why. Replace the seven literal days with seven epochs, and adjust Noah’s flood to be a large-but-local event, and replace the “by chance” aspect of the Evolutionary methodology with “by the Holy Ghost” and everything makes perfect sense.

Except ALLLLL that tracking and protecting of a 'seed' line to Christ mock the theory of a hot steamy primordial pond. There is only one Savior and His name is not Darwin.

I Hereby demand as a believer in the Great religion of Science that you desist equating our Noble Path to the vile cult of Peace :)

Let me assure you the Theory of evolution refers to an explanation for how biological species developed and has nothing to do with governing the affairs of men or mass murder.

It’s funny how people say that evolution is science (LOL!) and yet creationism is not a science. It has never been proven, nor can it be proven, that humans evolved, the only thing that has been proven is that viruses and bacteria can somewhat evolve. It is impossible to do an experiment on human evolution, impossible. These bones that are found prove nothing about evolution, it’s just a guessing game. Evolution in regards to humans is not, and never will be, a science. It’s faith just like creationism except it is a faith in nothing instead of something.

I don’t see how Christ’s genealogy disproves Evolution. Perhaps you care to explain?
