Wow,
I can feel the narrowing of the minds in this room.
1. Darwinian theory simply points out that the fittest "species" have survived. That has nothing to do (nor should it) with social poilicy.
2. Read carefully... Lona didn't imply that it has anything to do with social policy. She is correct when she says that we are atracted to our own definition of a "fit" mate. (some people like heavy, thin, Black, white, yellow or otherwise, big deal) We subconciously like certain traits. We translate those traits into our our own definition of "fitness" as a mate.
3. What is the big conflict between Darwin and the Bible? Read the Bible and see...(please don;t respond to this unless you first read all of genesis chapter 1 .) There are two creation stories in Genesis, not one. Each sea creature was made "after it's own kind" on the fifth day ... and here is the real clincher... All of the land animals were made... and humans were made on the sixth day.. each after it's own kind, Sorted and told to "go forth and multiply and fill the earth"
did you catch the operative word there.... sorted, as in genetics. Darwinian theory is just a theory... but it isn't fascism, nazi-ism or a solial policy. it is just survival of the fittest species.
Please read darwin before you condemn him to hell... he was just pointing out the obvious... and frankly the scriptures easily agree with it. (and even darwin admitted he "might" be wrong, it's just a theory, he wasn't arrogant about it)
