I'm only arguing one fact currently. Nobody has fought and killed in the name of evolution, whereas many have in the name of religion. There is no Evolutionist's flag, no Evolutionist's militia memorabilia, no Evolutionist's pantheon and there is no Evolutionist's rituals or consecrations. Evolution is a belief system, as it is largely a theory, but it is not a religion.

You can plaster up as many facts as you wish about Columbine (of which it is only 1 example where I can give you a hundredfold where Christianity is concerned). The children involved in the murders were not shouting "All Hail Evolution! You die today in the name of the great Evolutionist theory! We do this for the sake of Evolution, for it's liberation!"

Did they believe in evolution? I dare say they didn't believe in much beyond nihilism given their actions, regardless of what treaties the little crater-faced, Mountain-dew consuming brainless American chubsters may have written down on paper before the destruction they wrought upon their school, their classmates and themselves. They could have worn evolution teeshirts every single day to school and that still wouldn't have changed the irrifutible fact here. They did not (nor has anyone throughout history -- nor will anyone) kill in the name of evolution. They did not say "We are killing you because we are Evolutionists" nor did they say "We are killing you because you are not evolutionists like we are". Religion does this, not evolution. Their actions were the consequence of being f***ed in the head amidst a country which is equally f***ed in the head.

There is no evolution coat of arms, there is no evolution baptism.

Your comments about Hitler may all be true but you still cannot look me in the face and say "Egan, he did these things because he was fighting in the name of evolution." Just like you cannot (rationally) look me in the face and say "Egan, the sole reason he did these things was for the greater cause of evolution." He may (or may not) have been taking advantage of the theory to further his actions, but he was not doing these things IN THE NAME OF EVOLUTION. Nobody does things IN THE NAME of evolution.

That is all I am arguing at this point. Nothing more, nothing less.
