Unfortunately, there are a couple of fatal errors to your post.

#1 You appropriate “Christianity” to mean your version of creationist, fundamentalist Christianity, presuming that one cannot believe in Christianity and evolution.

#2 You go into the realm of “creation science” by claiming a “full frontal assault on the Temple of Darwin” - which really is a barely veiled assault on centuries, even millenia of reason, research, and philosophy.

The hysterical attack by “creation science” folks on the theory of evolution advances neither science nor religion - it is an attack from those who presume religious purity on those whom they deem less pure than themselves.

The premise of your posted article is ignorant on grounds of faith & reason - and is the constant reminder that whether here in America, or in Afghanistan religious fundamentalism must never achieve political dominance, because it destroys both faith and reason.

Nope... I even explain that in the post. Your fatal error is your failure to follow the logic.

“#2 You go into the realm of “creation science” by claiming a “full frontal assault on the Temple of Darwin” - which really is a barely veiled assault on centuries, even millenia of reason, research, and philosophy.”

You mean like climate scientists?

“or in Afghanistan religious fundamentalism must never achieve political dominance, because it destroys both faith and reason.”

Thus your reason for the reply: to try and equate modern-day Christianity and fundamentalist Christians with killers. Ah, the toys of the temple of Darwin.
