What do you - both believers and the rest - believe are the philosophical implications of evolution? Is it just a scientific fact to you, or is it much more?

Evolution can justify everything you do, include all types of crimes. Because there is no crime in evolution.
To Christians:
Jesus Christ referred to Genesis as the literal history of the world.
For a Christian to believe that Genesis is just a story of symbolism means either Jesus was deceived by Genesis or He knew it wasn't true and He lied to us.
Christian, to believe in Jesus Christ is the Son of God is to believe how He believes.
Why should there be any philosophical implication of that theory?
It's an explanation to a set of observed facts, not anything else.
I've been a formally educated evolutionist and have worked closely with them for three decades - this earth and universe is a Creation. Evolutionist have much more to learn. God has brought evolution about for a reason, as a snare to those wise in their own eyes. A little knowledge about the natural can be misleading.
It's a dangerous doctrine.
You mean it's dangerous to your sense of being special.1. It blasphemes God, since God says He made us in His image, whereas evolution says we came from an animal.
And dangerous to your ego and sense of self importance.2. It teaches us human beings are animals, whereas God has set us apart from the animal kingdom.
Dangerous to your sense of being special again.3. It teaches we came about by natural processes, whereas God created us via a miraculous fiat.
Dangerous to Genesis 1. Hmm. I'm sure that's important to you, but I'm struggling to empathise. It's rather as if someone tells you that the 'The Da Vinci Code' has been reduced to the status of a mere novel. It's hard not to laugh and say "yeah, that's because it is a novel.".4. It reduces Genesis 1 to the status of a fable, starting a process whereby the rest of the Scriptures are looked upon with suspicion. Left unchecked, this downward spiral will eventually lead to every jot & tittle being reduced to the status of an allegory.
Is contempt the right word? Most creationists are victims of how they've been brought up, so pity for them and anger at the poor education they've received is a common theme. Contempt is probably reserved for the dishonest hucksters of creationism.5. It breeds contempt between evolutionists and creationists.
Zero tolerance for those who make no effort to understand what they are denouncing would be closer to the truth.6. It creates a zero tolerance for those who don't appreciate it, or know how it works -- right down to the molecular level.
You may need to enlighten me as to what the philosophy of evolution is before you can build an argument that it is exploitable by a mythical demonic entity.7. It creates a philosophy that the Antichrist will be able to exploit to the fullest.
Lol, you mean it teaches fact rather than fiction.8. It teaches uniformitarianism, rather than catastrophism.
I'm sensing some personal agenda being lugged forward here. Whatever your reason for saying this, it is wrong, and bizarre.9. It breeds Antisemitism & Antizionism.
Nonsense. Evolution has led to you being alive now in your body which is wonderfully adapted to live on the surface of this exciting place called Earth. You have a winning ticket in the lottery of existence. What's to be depressed about? I mean, you could have been born a blobfish, that really would have been rotten luck:10. It produces no hope for the future -- only destruction & despair.
Maybe it does all those things.It's a dangerous doctrine.

And God will forgive any crime but one, so what's the difference?
Because there is no crime in evolution.
Didn't Germany's scientists in the 1940s experiment with evolution?Using evolution to justify a crime is a great example of an invalid way to make a philosophical deduction from the truth of evolution.
And this is relevant for the question at hand exactly how?Didn't Germany's scientists in the 1940s experiment with evolution?
