Darwin was influenced by religion, Hitler was a Catholic, and I don't know what kind of connection you make to religion in regards to Columbine, unless you count that completely farcical story about the little girl who was killed because she said she believed in God.

This is just plain scary. People with college degrees believe this??? "Spin" will thrust us back into the dark ages. This is taken completely out of context.

My upvote is only because people should see how ridiculous this is. It's like the House UnAmerican Activities...once you show how twisted these views are, you see how important it is to AVOID teaching this kind of misguided belief in schools.

that was Eugenics not "Social Darwinism" theres no such thing. Its called Eugenics, the southern slave owners also used it to justify slavery, and i can go on forever about people who use Eugenics to justify everything from slavery, mass genocide, refusal to own or buy land or vote. Its called social Darwinism by people who don't want the stigma of associated with Eugenics. Evolution happens with and with out us. Eugenics is a human controled process and can not occur with out us. Thats the differnts. last point fuck i hate Coulter just hurry up and join the rest of the irrelevant.

Hitler, catholic ? Oh, ok, so I wonder why he wanted to build temples devoted to older germanic gods in Berlin.
Hitler wanted to bring back the old polytheism and he thought that Aryans/Germans would follow him after he would have conquered Europe.

PS: Point of view from Europe : We can't understand how such a debate can happen about Darwin... Creationism is considered here as a jump of five centuries in the past. Letting people debate about this is like telling them that Adam and Eve is a possibility. We are in the 21st century !!!

What does Columbine have to do with evolution? And why in the world would Kennedy want Coulter to comment on his program? Isn't it supposed to be a Christian program?

Leave "creation" to Sunday school classes.

Bardaf, I didn't mean to suggest the Vatican would've approved of Hitler, (though they didn't disavow the "blood libel" until 1914) - just that Hitler was raised Catholic, and that he believed the Bible quite literally:
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." - Hitler, April 12, 1922

I count 4. theo, you can go back and edit those posts and replace with blank lines.

What has religion contributed to humanity?

Anne Coulter is funny, she makes me laugh. "Darwinism is popular because it allows atheists to not have to explain how we got here." Uhhhh...

ok look im back in from a night out its 3.05 am and im slighty drunk yet i seem to be abole to think more clearly than your avrage fundamentalist. for gods sake on a 3 wheel bike ok right mother of gibbons how dence are these people. do we see hitler around and naziesum around right now oh i dont think so and why not oh yah becuse there wer to manny people who apoosed what thay thought. and how can thay say dawinisum is evail like other people sead i think thay are on about ugenicks thay dont evan know what thay are talking about in the first place to evan compse a coherant argument about evalution. for penis sake. its good to say that a theriy is wrong and provide evidence against it so then people can lern the truth about things. oh and last time i checked alot of conflict int he world is becuse of religouse people fighting over there promissed land ore some retarded thing like that. and ann coulter has a small penis.

Only voting for this because I hope people will watch it and laugh. Or choke on their drinks.

This is definatly an emotional argument. At no point does it actually attack the theory.

If these preachers would stop practicing selective ignorance to contracict scientific theory and start reinforcing morality as a way of live then religeon would be more relevant in people's lives.
