Thank you for responding SoSick.

With evolution comes the breaking down of long accepted fundamental Christian principles.

Yet there are christians and people of many other faiths that don't have a problem with evolution. This tells me that it is not christianity per se that is “broken down' by teaching scientific truths. Perhaps it is your interpretation of christianity that is at fault.

When Christians themselves are deceived enough to believe the world's lies, and begin acting in ways that might otherwise be acceptable for non-Christians, they are seen as hypocrites. Any slight wrong doing by a Christian, that might otherwise be acceptable, overlooked or brushed under the rug for non-Christians, is duly emphasied and shouted from the rooftops by those who would wish to defame the Christian or Christianity.

These are your Christian hypocrites:

They have been generous enough to list themselves publicly in one place. Please applaude them for their great works. May their non-existent creator god continue to bless them abundantly. With him, they have achieved great spiritual and intellectual perfection.

Ah, so any christian that disagrees with you is by your definition not a true christian and they - and all people not of your particular faith - can be ignored. You can use the same logic to prove that the earth is flat and at the center of the universe or that pink unicorns are responsible for gravity.

Evolution is the epitomy of the refutation of creation.

Not in my belief. I am a deist and so I believe that evolution is the process that is set in place, that the evolution of life is an affirmation of that creation. I, and my belief, are not alone in this, and this tells me that it is not evolution per se that is the culprit.

Evolution is godless, no god required, no laws of God to keep.

Strangely I, and many others, don't have that problem. Therefore your conclusion is false.

When children are taught Christian values, ... They are not Christians, they are wolves in sheep's clothing set about to attempt to create dissention among Christians, to carry those who will be easily tempted away with illogical teachings, and to cause confusion concerning Christians among the non-Christian rest.

Sorry this is not a logical argument, it is just running at the mouth against the evils of evolution, which you have falsely redefined to be something evil. It also leaps to your conclusion at the beginning and is begging the question. This is a logical fallacy.

Evolution is just another scientific truth, like gravity and the age of the earth. It involves theory based on observation and facts, evidence of life evolving. Evolution is just the change in hereditary traits in populations from generation to generation.

How does teaching scientific truth lead to immoral behavior? Science is amoral and agnostic. Belief and faith are different dimensions to being, and morality and faith are not taught in science nor affected by the teaching of scientific truths.

You have not presented an argument that goes from:

Evolution is .... (insert definition of the process of evolution)

to

Therefore teaching evolution will necessarily drive kids to kill.

Please address the issue.

Enjoy.
