It’s Darwins birthday – lets compare him to Hitler!
Scanning through Google news I came across an article “On Celebrating Darwin” which began with “This year we have an important double anniversary of Charles Darwin: the 200th anniversary of his birth, and the 150th anniversary of his classic work…”
I continued reading only to next minute realise Charles Darwin is being compared to Hitler.. then it goes on to attempt to draw links between darwinism and abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia… I’m appauled, then realise I’m reading “Christian Today”…
Nice work celebrating the guys birthday, by writing slandereous propaganda!
Even worse though, having the nerve to pretense the entire article with “Celebrating Darwin” only taint the man and his work… The author begins the article with notable attempts at sounding unbiased, until the next four pages of the article drag the mans reputation through the dirt without reference to popular opposing views.
The author then continues by drawing loose connections to the unsavoury opinions and actions of other individuals (i.e. Hilter) as though these were the direct influcence of and results of Darwins scientic theory… all easily refutable arguements a primary student (perhaps a free thinking child who hasn’t been choking on the force fed ideals of intelligent design) could tackle!
GOD created man in his image such is the religious and non-scientic theory of “intelligent design”.. With a world full of rapists, peadophiles and murders at the extreme with just plain rude, inconsiderate and self absorbed individuals towards the other end… I’d be just as apprehensive in walking down a dark alley as I would meeting my maker..
Lets get one thing straight religion has no place in science and vica versa…

Sorry got my blood boiling earlier.. Don’t get me wrong I’m not antisemitic or bigoted.. I actually highly commend religion, it has it’s place in society! Society as we know it would cease to exist without it… The overall and principles/rules of majority of religions and their interpretation by their followers are what I would consider to be good natured, an essential for a harmonious society… whilst in this day and day such a utopia seems more idealistic than realistic.. religion however does not have a place in science like it does in society except perhaps in assisting with ethics or morality… although that itself is also a contentious topic!
I mean I haven’t seen scientists out there recently wasting timing and money, attempt to disprove religious beliefs… quite the opposite in a number of cases! So why should I consider it acceptable to see religious sorts attempting to disprove scientific beliefs? Everyone just needs to start taking each with a gain of salt….
