The theory of evolution has now been taught for a number of decades in the public schools in most of the western developed countries. Through the theory of evolution people are led to believe that the universe was created by an explosion of 'nothing' (a singularity) into everything. From this explosion or 'big bang' everything in the universe evolved. Somehow this energy that came from nothing formed stars, planets, solar systems & galaxies. As I write this I am aware that people will be reading this and thinking to themselves 'no, it's a little more complicated than that'. Scientists have written large volumes of books trying to explain the cosmic evolution of the universe in an effort to undermine the possibility of a creator. They use language that can sometimes be difficult to understand but when you boil it down to it's simplest form, evolusionist's ultimately believe that:

1. The universe exploded from nothing into everything.
2. All biological life on planet earth evolved from a rock (add some rain & sunlight)
3. We are here by random chance.
4. It is assumed that the universe is billions of years old in order to uphold this theory

These are a series of beliefs and they can never be proven. Despite this, evolution is often taught as true or assumed to be true in our public shools.

Children being taught this fairy tale grow up with a philosophy that ultimately nothing really matters. People wonder why we have psycopaths committing mass murders in schools in such a 'civilised society'. The problem lies in the philosophy that is taught through the public education system. Not all children allow this propaganda to take away the possibility of a creator but many do, to top it off the 'theory of evolution' is taught to children at the expense of the taxpayers.

This poisonous philosophy/religion should be removed from all textbooks in public schools. If parents would like their children to be taught the theory of evolution then it can be done through private schooling. No different than if a parent would like their child to be taught a particular religious belief.

Fail in the second sentence.

Fail again.


I'll repeat what I said a few weeks ago in another thread...

As the old saying goes... “Evolution is so simple, almost anyone can misunderstand it”

And certainly on the internet, I've never actually encountered anyone who actually understands evolution, and the reasoning behind it... and yet still disagrees with it.

I feel it all went to sh*t when the hippies became parents.

Are you intentionally grossly oversimplifying, embellishing, and misconstruing or is this what you really believe the theory of evolution is all about?

Kirk Cameron lied to you, man. Not a very Christlike thing of him to do. =(

Drilled down to it's simplest form this is absolutely what evolution is all about.

Is this topic serious? Now we're blaming scientific theories as the cause of all of society's problems? Well at least you found something new to blame, as insane as your opinion is.

You do realize that you can have your little god and evolution too.
Yup crazy, I know But science is cool like that.
You can tell yourself that your god kicked everything off, got evolution started. Science doesn't mind.

So why can't your god be cool, and let science do it's thing?
Why does it HAVE to be magic and invisible men in the sky? Kind of sounds like your god is a greedy little kid afraid of not getting enough attention...

Yes.

I am blaming this scientific theory for some of societies problems. Why be so extreme and suggest that I am blaming it for all of our problems?

Hitler's & Stalin's policies were heavily influenced by the theory of evolution. Their philosophy was deeply entrenched in the idea that the weak deserve to die and only the strong should remain. Hitler's idea of a master race completely originated in this philosphy. 'Survival of the fittest'. Hitler even had the races listed in order of importance.

I have not found something new to blame at all. Many people have blamed the theory of evolution and the philosophies that stem from this theory for the some of the problems that we see in our modern society.

You mean that before Darwin was even born, the strong never crushed the weak ?

No, but...

The theory of evolution certainly helps people justify crushing the weak. The theory of evolution is a Eugenicist's wet dream.

i don't think the OP's "understanding" of evolution is really their point. whether the OP truly understands how it all works or not does not take away from what i think they are trying to say.

the POINT the OP seems to be bringing forth is that a lot of our currant sociological problems may be at least partially caused by this "theory", by removing things like morals and ethics.

one thing at least most religions have is some sort of code of conduct that is a part of it. and that not following this code of conduct has a negative impact for you somewhere down the line. be it the "christian hell", "karma" catching up with you with negative effects, or any other negative impact that a religious belief has in store for those who don't follow the "rules". this is a base for behavior that is expected, take the "ten commandments" as an example. they set the moral and ethical standards, for at least Christians and Jews. i expect that most if not all religions have similar things built into their beliefs that provides similar moral direction for them.

the belief in the theory of evolution or science does not have that set of moral standards at all. so there is nothing to give a base for moral standards. at the same time those that tend to believe in evolution and science in place of religion, also tend to deem all other religious beliefs as untrue. as such canceling out those values taught by religion yet putting nothing in their place.

why is "murder bad" for example? why shouldn't you kill someone who annoys you or is in your way?

i think this is the point the OP is trying to make.
