Did evolution doctrine ever do anything good to cure sickness, or abolish world hunger or anything good at all?
I know that a belief in evolution has led some individuals to live like animals in wild sex orgies and others to to treat "less evolved" races as slaves. I also know that a belief system such as evolution , void of a belief in the wrath of God, makes it easy to commit murder and other crimes. But has it ever done any good?

Genetic engineering (based on evolution) is working to cure world hunger.
If you say, but the first time that I suggested that the bones of "Lucy" (missing link) be checked for DNA I was promptly told that there wouldn't be enough DNA in them old bones. Genetic engineering has nothing to do with THE BELIEF of evolution.
Sickness is of course cured by medical advances which constantly have to stay ahead of mutations and evolution of the bugs it is fighting.
So you believe, but what good does THE BELIEF of evolution do to help? So what if there are new diseases? There have always been new diseases. Advances in medicine are in part due to new technological tools and anatomical study, but not a the belief of evolution.
Slavery and racism is as rooted in the Bible and religion as it is in anything else.
Joe can you quote a bible verse to prove this?

Quotes from Mister Pamboli
Animal testing in medical research. You can't extrapolate from one species to another unless you believe they are related and you believe you understand the nature of the relationship.
Yes I can see that we have much in common with RATS! Rats are the used the most in labs these days. Yes I can see that mankind has done very deep analysis of RAT/human similarities and came up with rats as a likely choice for developing medicine and antibiotics. NOT !
Slavery is found throughout the bible and fellow countrymen are to be treated differently from foreign slaves in terms of their bondage:
Israel was enslaved by the Egyptians true, but the "slavery" from most of the bible as you quoted was different. If I owed you a large sum of money, I could become your "servant" to pay off the debt. Slavery is only one example that I mentioned earlier. I only mentioned that without a faith in God we could try to get away with anything. (As long as no one was watching such as authorities, our wives etc.) Speaking of laws, where do you think our current legal system comes from?

Percipient
Even if belief in evolution had brought about total moralistic collapse worldwide, it wouldn't make the theory any less true.
And it wouldn't make it any more true either. What a shame that would be!

Percipient, should we deny gunpowder or metallurgy next?
Metallurgy can be proven every day in a smelting plant and the first time that you deny the power of gunpowder you can be quickly shown by a demonstration, but over 100 years of lab experimenting can't produce life from simple elements. Now also realize that we are deliberately trying to DESIGN life in a lab and 100 years later we still haven't done it , so why should anyone with any brains think that it could happen randomly?
As to a literal 6 day creation, have any of you ever heard of RELATIVITY? Because it is beyond your understanding, doesn't mean that it isn't true. 500 years ago electricity was a mystery but today we have harnessed the unseen power of the free electron. But if anyone disbelieves in electricity, it can be proven in a lab experiment. However, I'm afraid you will never be able to prove that evolution is real in a lab, and conflicting and erroneous data for evolution doesn't add up.
