Misleading, I believe. It is illegal to teach creation as science.
Evolution is based on the idea that people evolved from slime or whatever and that some groups of people are more evolved than other groups. That's what your theory embraces.
Yes I absolutely agree because Christianity concludes that all mankind derived from one source whereas evolution derives mankind from several different sources which would further promote the idea of superiority. Evilution suggests that some are more evolved than others whereas the creation account in Genesis teaches the opposite.
That is one hundred percent backwards. That is the observation that was made. Those that believe the creation myths tend to be more racist.Yup, exactly. Plus Christianity has been around a lot longer than the theory of evolution. Christianity is handed down from generation to generation but people have to go to school to learn evolution which is where they also learn racial tolerance and interact with different people. So more educated people attach themselves to the false new age belief of evolution. But common people AND educated people believe in creation.
That is because they have not looked at the data.Lol yeah ok.. many others do not come to this conclusion
Not exactly. It is illegal to teach creationism in schools because it is religion. It is not science. In fact most creation websites and their associated businesses require that people that work for them swear that they will not use the the scientific method. I know that the two biggest ones, AiG and ICR both require their "scientists" to avoid doing real science.Misleading, I believe. It is illegal to teach creation as science.
Surely you must know that making it illegal to teach creation as science is not evidence of a conspiracy to delude - there is another, much more plausible explanation: it is illegal to teach creation in science class because it rather obviously does not qualify as a plausible scientific theory.
By that logic it would’ve been illegal to teach smartphones as being plausible 100 years ago, but that didn’t negate their plausibility in the present. What once would’ve been considered as superstitious nonsense has become reality and this mindset has continued consistently throughout the ages since the creation of man.
Except that evolution doesn't promote such a thing at all. It doesn't say anything at all, actually. It just describes how life evolved into what it is now.
When you start to get into the specifics of it it does because they claim mutations weren’t just occurring in one place on the planet they were occurring all over the world and taking place over millions of years so naturally there would be several occurrences taking place at different times with several different stages of evolvement.
Not a big surprise - one need only look at the darlings of the GQP.
Disbelief in human evolution linked to greater prejudice and racism
"Similarly, across the globe -- in 19 Eastern European countries, 25 Muslim countries and in Israel -- low belief in evolution was linked to higher biases within a person's group, prejudicial attitudes toward people in different groups and less support for conflict resolution.
The findings supported the hypothesis of lead author Stylianos Syropoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in the War and Peace Labof senior author Bernhard Leidner, associate professor of social psychology. They collaborated with co-first author Uri Lifshin at Reichman University in Israel and co-authors Jeff Greenberg and Dylan Horner at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The researchers theorized that belief in evolution would tend to increase people's identification with all humanity, due to the common ancestry, and would lead to less prejudicial attitudes."
Matches my experiences over the past 3 decades.
And that is zero basis for saying that evolution promotes racism. Again, evolution is DEscriptive, not PERscriptive.

I never said evolution promotes racism I inferred that evolution is more likely to promote racism compared to the biblical creation account because the biblical creation account derives all mankind being descendants from one source, Adam & Eve whereas evolution derives mankind from many different sources at many different times. Biblical creation account all men are related to one another deriving from one gene pool, evolution all men are not related to one another deriving from multiple gene pools. It’s a lot easier to promote superiority of race deriving from separate gene pools rather than deriving from the same gene pool.
If that is the case then why are creationists more apt to be racist? That is what the article in the OP shows.I never said evolution promotes racism I inferred that evolution is more likely to promote racism compared to the biblical creation account because the biblical creation account derives all mankind being descendants from one source, Adam & Eve whereas evolution derives mankind from many different sources at many different times.

This is rather implausible - how do you explain that people who were otherwise competent enough to earn advanced university degrees all this rather specific delusion and to invest their lives in propagating it.
Sounds rather far-fetched, don't you think?
What is your source for this assertion?
Being deluded has nothing to do with how smart a person is. It makes no sense to believe something came from nothing or that all you see in the universe is just coincidence.
Who creates those "bad ideas" in the first place?...but the great thing about science is that you can combat a bad idea with a good one.
Who creates those "bad ideas" in the first place?
People, of course. Did you think ideas fell from the sky like manna from Heaven?
