Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
You mean that guy who wrote, The Preservation of Favoured Races would resoundingly condemn Eugenics?
How easily Satan works upon Christians.
How many times have you had this explained to you? No longer can this be a mistake on your part. You're lying purposefully. Last time I checked, your idol was God, not The Great Deciever.

Do people actually think if they can "prove" evolution is "evil", that it will disprove the theory? Animals in the wild eat their young and kill for sport. It's distasteful, but it doesn't prove that nature doesn't exist.
And I suggest you read your own holy book for some wonderful demonstrations of pure evil, many of which are endorsed, or even performed, by your "merciful" god.
I shows we aren't animals after all, and that chickens shouldn't look at us as their natural predators?
Or does that term apply to we at the top of the food chain?
That's the funny thing, AVET. We are just like any other animal in most ways. We breathe like other animals. We eat like other animals. Heck we even procreate like other animals. Strange, huh?

With several exceptions, I'm sure:
We're not galliforms 'natural predators'.
We're not forests 'natural destroyers'.
It's considered wrong for us to kill each other for sport (for some reason).
A host of other things we don't seem to share with our ancestors because we're considered a 'higher form of life'.
In other words, we're considered animals insofar as it's wrong to consider us animals?
With several exceptions, I'm sure:[*]We're not galliforms 'natural predators'.[*]We're not forests 'natural destroyers'.
Well, they end up dead and their resources used for our benefit, so the end result is just the same, it's just that we have more direct control over the numbers of our prey also.
[*]It's considered wrong for us to kill each other for sport (for some reason).
No, but we do spend a lot of time killing each other based on pointless tribalism.
[*]A host of other things we don't seem to share with our ancestors because we're considered a 'higher form of life'.[/list]
No, things are just complicated somewhat when you have intelligence and sentience, but the basic principles are still in there to some degree.

Actually, under the modern classification system of life, there are three other choices: Fungi, aerobic bacteria, and anaerobic bacteria. Mineral is not one of the biological kingdoms.
