Greetings:
You may take it that I have banged my head and taken my asprin. After re-reading the above points I have to say that there is a lot of Creationist literature bent on proving those very points concerning evolutionary theory. Fortunately, I am not one of those who have used any of the above points to "disprove" evolution. However, one can see the temptation to do such a thing.
On points 10-12 it was Nitzsche who used evolutionary theory in his book "The Geneology of Morals" - thus opening the evolution/morals can of worms.
Socialists use the term "social darwinism" in order to spread their political agendas. Hitler actually used darwinism as a defense of Germans as the "master race". This also brings in the idea of racism. If white people are more evolved than black people because they don't look like apes, then wouldn't it be logical to claim black people as less evolved and less human?
I know that the above statements are not consistent with evolutionary theory, and that it is not the fault of the theory that it is being misused. But there needs to be some clear denunciations from evolutionists that these things are NOT TRUE of the theory of evolution. Silence in the face of these accusations (which have never been made by me because I know better) may be considered a subtle admission of complicity with these ideas.
I only write this because I can see why Creationists would make such accusations against evolution.
