Does teaching of evolution cause social decay?

Social decay is obviously caused by air conditioning, not evolution. Air conditioning represents man's attempts to scientifically control his God-given environment. Until 1902, when Carrier's invention was used to control the environment in a Brooklyn printing press, God had always decided when it would be hot and what the humidity level would be. A mere one year after man first defied God by scientifically controlling his own environment, God showed us how angry he was by starting the Bolshevik Revolution.In 1915, the Carrier Corporation was formed to promote the new technology of air conditioning and develop units that could be used in smaller areas, such as homes. This made God even angrier. He showed us how angry he was by getting us involved in World War I.In 1924, a department store in Detroit was the first retail business to be air-conditioned. By this time, God was really angry indeed. He started bringing fascist governments to power all over Europe and he put Joseph Stalin in power in the USSR.In 1928 the godless Carrier corporation, still as bent as ever on controlling what God had always controlled, introduced the first home air conditioning units. God got so angry that he started the Great Depression!In 1939, the Packard Corporation introduced the first air-conditioned automobiles and God started WWII.

Good point, but it arguably began in 1903 when the Bolsheviks, under Lenin, first became a political party in opposition to the czar. 1903 was also the worst year of drought in Russia. Millions died, food prices went up, and the gap between rich and poor widened. All of this strengthened the Bolsheviks.In other words, it can still be demonstrated that God was really mad.

I think Lam may have been making a distinction between fact and theory as relates to science. If so, the point will be lost on almeyda. She or he is not nearly ready to deal with the difference yet.The statement 'evolution is a fact' may not be incorrect but it is at least misleading. As I see it, evolution is like a set of facts and cross-references between every branch of life science.One cannot understand biology unless one understands the theory of evolution unless understands biology... This is why the creationistas (my hat is tipped to whoever came up with this word; was it someone on this board?) have such an easy time attacking ToE. It's kind of hard for unsophisticated people to wrap their minds around this theory. Unsophisticated people have always had an innate fear of that which they don't understand. They can easily be manipulated to believe that their God is being attacked by evil scientists if they can't understand just what it is those scientists are actually doing.
