Evolution as Fact and Theory

But it was bad science to make such a radical change in the accepted theory of the day, that the God, Jehovah, that most people were then crediting with the origin of biologic diversity, could be left out of the picture entirely.

No it was good science. Darwin's theory was (and is) the best possible explanation of the observation of biodiversity and its origins. Creationism was not the most widely accepted theory of the day because it was never a scientific theory. It was a religious belief, never testable, never falsifiable and never supported by evidence. In Darwin's own time, there were also non-creationist concepts in the scientific community that were scientific hypothesis but were contradicted by the evidence and abandoned. A testament to the success of evolutionary theory is that since Darwin, particularly with the molecular biological revolution of the last 20 years, more and more evidence supporting evolution has been gathered, the theory still stands unchallenged scientifically, and sciences understanding of the mechanisms, particularly genetic, underlying evolution has increased tremendously. Creationism on the other hand, has not progressed at all. It is still stuck in exactly the same place as it was during Darwin's time and the same exact objections and whining that Darwin and his supporters experienced then are the same lame brained arguements today...you guys are going nowhere.

Slowly, slowly, just appeal to the great Artificial Selector in the heavens. Then what you see as the "master race" will peacefully emerge, will grow in numbers to populate the world, and see it ruled in peace, love, and prosperity.

This appeal to the concept of the "master race" makes it sound like you are a supporter of nazi ideology. I would not be surprised as in some of your posts your claims about evolutionary theory are replete with eugenicist fallacies.And if anyone is having success in reproducing it is the non-christians as the Chinese and Indians have a much higher and faster growing population than any other group. The Mennonites are a small isolated clan..hardly a great example to pick. Maybe you should be worshipping Vishnu...his followers have higher fitness Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Off-topic banner.
