Because evolution isn't about gay rights or abortion.

Don't you know Darwin is one inspiration for the "Free love" movement?

"There should be open competition for all men; and the most able should not be prevented by laws or customs from succeeding best and rearing the largest number of offspring."
Descent of Man, Chapter 21

I don't know if his words were twisted by libertines or not, but the implication is certainly there. Darwin, like just about everybody, gets intellectually sloppy when it comes to ethical theory and the differences between science and philosophy.

Excellent point.

Darwin's underlying philosophical thesis is that men are just clever beasts.

Therefore there is no transcendent basis for morality.

" Don't you know Darwin is one inspiration for the "Free love" movement?"

That's a joke right? The quote you provided showed that Darwin was a free market capitalist.

" I don't know if his words were twisted by libertines or not, but the implication is certainly there."

Yeah, the implication is capitalism and advancement by merit. I didn't realize that went against conservative principles.

You crevo's are really losing it.
