Randy, the following quote is from your message that introduced the idea
that evolution was linked to Hitler. If, above, I mistate your position, it
is obvious why. You wrote:
"Evolution is the basic philosophy behind all the evil systems that have
plagued the world since the days of Charles Darwin."
Then, you wrote to me:
>Jesus Christ never did condone racism Darwin did! Your example of the
>racism in evolution being compaired to Christianity in not valid.
Randy, I never compared "racism in evolution" to Christianity. What I did
say was that PEOPLE have used both evolution and Christian faith to justify
THEIR views of racism. This simply is a factual statement. It compares the
way people have tried to justify belief in racism, it never compares racism
to Christianity. There is a difference here. I then went on to explain
taht it does not logically follow that legitimate criticism of the way that
people use a belief, means that the belief is wrong. I used the example of
people misusing Christian belief to justify their racist beliefs because no
one here thinks that this ivalidates the faith.
