If that is a serious answer, then I have a question for you. Why do many delibrately defile a religious symbol in order to make a statement about their positive views on evolution? Specifically, I take great offense when persons put bumper stickers on their vehicles where the Christian ICHTHUS fish (the earliest of Christian symbols - predating the cross)whern they have substituted DARWIN in place of the greek acrostic ICHTHUS and little feet on the fish.
This symbol consists of an iota (I)the first letter in Greek for Jesus, the chi (CH) the first letter in the Greek for Christ, the theta (TH) the first letter in Greek for THEOU (meaning "of God"), the upsilon the first letter in Greek for Huious (meaning Son), and finally the sigma being the first letter in the Greek for Savior. The acrosstic literally means "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."
To deface a religious symbol to make a point is just plain wrong, and it is the kind of thing that starts fights.
It shows zero class or consideration for others. Granted, that many in religious circles have not been so kind towards those holding more or totally "naturalistic" views. However, this tit for tat is gettig out of control. If those holding TOE as dogma are supposed to be so detached and enlightened (as opposed to religious fanatics), then why don't they act like it? Why stick a finger in someone's eye.
I strongly oppose hate crimes legislation and the idea of "hate speach." However, although I would never try to legislate it, I consider a Darwinised ICHTHUS to be real hate speech. It is an obvious attempt to insult, ridicule, and inflame a particular group of people. Very bad form.
