How very odd that you who embrace Darwinism with its’ moral relativism would accuse me-—or anyone for that matter-—of lying.

It really matters not what Stalin or any of his legion of liars later claimed about Darwinism. The Soviet Union was an empire of evil, and there was neither truth nor righteousness to be found there.

Be that as it may, Stalin certainly did embrace Darwin’s theory, if only because it negated God the Father. Darwin’s theory has that effect, as EO Wilson also testifies:

“As were many persons from Alabama, I was a born-again Christian,” wrote Harvard professor E.O. Wilson in a 1982 article for The Humanist.

“When I was fifteen, I entered the Southern Baptist Church with great fervor and interest in the fundamentalist religion; I left at seventeen when I got to the University of Alabama and heard about evolutionary theory.”

That’s a pretty good summary of what happened to the baby boom generation.

Historically, Darwinism has had some deadly effects, especially beyond our shores. Karl Marx said: “Darwin’s book is very important and serves me as a basis in natural science for the class struggle in history.”

Soviet dictator Josef Stalin murdered millions. In 1940, a book was published in Moscow entitled “Landmarks in the Life of Stalin.” In it we read:

At a very early age, while still a pupil in the ecclesiastical school, Comrade Stalin developed a critical mind and revolutionary sentiments. He began to read Darwin and became an atheist.

G. Glurdjidze, a boyhood friend of Stalin’s, relates:

“I began to speak of God. Joseph heard me out, and after a moment’s silence, said:

“’You know, they are fooling us, there is no God. ...’

“I was astonished at these words. I had never heard anything like it before.

“’How can you say such things, Soso?’ I exclaimed.

“’I’ll lend you a book to read; it will show you that the world and all living things are quite different from what you imagine, and all this talk about God is sheer nonsense,’ Joseph said.

“’What book is that?’ I enquired.

“’Darwin. You must read it,’ Joseph impressed on me.”

Darwin’s theory is many things-—great alternative “anti-creation” account; Gnostic myth; license to reject God the Father; just-so story (to use Lewontin’s term)-—and none of them qualify as empirically verifiable science.

He who embraces Darwin’s theory embraces the Lie. Perhaps that is why Darwin himself wondered if his “theory” was in fact the Devil’s Gospel?

What a bunch of loony claptrap.

You lie blatantly when you say Stalin embraced Darwinism. If you taught Darwinian evolution in Stalin's USSR you were sent to Siberia and/or executed.

That is the truth. Your idea that anybody who accepts a scientific theory is a moral relativist is as ludicrous as your previous idiotic assumption that anybody who accepts a scientific theory is an atheist.

Do you know that the current Pope says of evolution that “there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being and such”?

Do you think the Pope is a moral relativist?
