[QUOTE]Originally posted by gene90:
Sadly, this is not a misconception that just crops up on its own, it is being systematically and shamelessly propagated by leading Creationist organizations. These are the same groups that believe that "Scientific" Creationism should be taught as a "scientific equal" to evolution in public schools, but then these orgs issue articles about evolution being the cause of most of what has gone wrong morally since the nineteenth century.[/B][/QUOTE]
I also find it interesting that these same creationists who say that it is the fault of the theory, and not the possible misapplication of it ie social darwinians, get very irrate when people bring up the same type of destructive actions which have been taken in the name of religion. They say, "Oh, well those people were not really religious" or "But they were misusing scripture" or some other reason, they really do not get that they are making the same explaination that the is used to show that ToE did not cause the events that they describe.
Now, here is a really amusing thing. Did you know that many of these sef same creationists are breaking the commandment concerning False Witness. People at the ICR are infamous for misquoting scientists or quoting them out of context. And these are the people who are trying to lead us back into morality

I think that that shows that there should be a bit of something to clear that up within the teaching of Evolution.

Then this shows that you really do not understand either evolution or basic science in general. Science may be able to disprove certian literal readings of the bible but no field within science can either prove or disprove god (or God). It falls outside of the perview of science.
