Evolution and Immorality?

[Hydra009]

ICR has this really explicit thing where it shows the trees of evolution and creationism and the "fruits" of those trees. I couldn't find a picture because the graphic is far more... well illustrative.

I found one.

Needless to say, to someone who truly believes this, evidence is irrelevant and thus reason takes a back seat to ideology.

And could i infer from this that the only thing stopping these people from having sex with animals, abusing children and snorting cocaine is their religion?

Who ever said it stopped them?


It’s the dark mirror of the naturalistic fallacy.

"Ought not" does not imply "Does not".

All indications are that Americanism is virulent and is, in fact, spreading across the globe!

Yeah. Medical researchers have discovered though that you're much more likely to suffer from an attack of Americanism if you also suffer from a large reserve of oil...

There is the "well, if we're just animals, why don't we behave like animals" thing.

That would actually be an improvement. Unfortunately, us humans act far worse than the rest of our fellow animals.

I guess creationists have never checked out the biology section of the library because biology states that we are animals, not evolution. Then again, maybe the creationists had a good reason to make a strawman of evolution...I don't think even they could deny a whole field of science.

Biology says that we are animals, but is silent on whether we're nothing more than animals. There's strawman number two.

Hydra009, you're awesome! I mucked about on the ICR website and even called the ICR office to see if they could point me to the graphic. They told me that it was probably protected by copyright and thus unavailable.
