Evolution and Biological Testing

[Zen Badger]

Contrary to popular belief, this religion doesn't deny evolution. Furthermore this religion doesn't ban controversial scientific experiments.

In fact, stem cell research is getting tremendous funding in Iran!

Where the line is drawn is when scientist and sociologist apply these theories to human society. Social Darwinism is a complete opposite of the principles of this relgion.

The problem with social Darwinism is that the powerful upper class can use these theories to justify that helping the poor and weak is a lost cause. They can claim that evolution bypassed the lower class with not giving them the stronger genes. This kind of rational has dire consequences in society.

Since Darwins theory is only 150 years old what did the ruling classes use for thousands of years beforehand?

That's right ... religion, i.e "the divine right of kings" and all of the rest of the religious bullshit that was used to justify their position of control.

So don't go there Rulloh, it's a fast road to nowhere on this forum.
