The theory of evolution is based upon many well placed assumptions. This theory, which means we guess, is the underpinning of Communism. If the Communists can make us believe we are but animals and the survival of the fittest is the key to life, they can kill anyone they determine unfit to survive.

"theory, which means we guess"
Fail.
"If the Communists can make us believe we are but animals"
You have no idea what Communist means, do you? But, you know it is a word for BAD PEEPuL, so they must think they are animals, and behave like them, right?
"survival of the fittest is the key to life, they can kill anyone they determine unfit to survive"
Survival of the fittest is a simplification of natural selection, which was 1. descriptive to a natural tendency, not a promotion of it 2. confined to predation on other species, not within your own and 3. not a unique idea.
Also, Communism was pretty much established to work AGAINST survival of the fittest and move away from meritocracies to economic egalitarianism. Obviously, it never worked though...
"The theory of evolution is based upon many well placed assumptions."
Originally. Of course, then it wasn't a theory yet. Since then we've refined the actual theory and validated, and invalidated, those assumptions.
"This theory, which means we guess, is the underpinning of Communism."
Theory does not mean "guess" and evolution has fuck all to do with communism.
"If the Communists can make us believe we are but animals and the survival of the fittest is the key to life, they can kill anyone they determine unfit to survive."
Natural selection doesn't mean what you think it means.
You should know that "survival of the fittest" (or as you folks often assume, "survival of the strongest") has more to do with a capitalist society than with a communist one.
It is capitalism where individuals can grow powerful if they are the strongest predators, who are able to buy out other, weaker, companies. It also allows the offspring of such individuals a better chance at growing strong themselves (because of the wealth/contacts of their parents)
In communism however, citizens are, at least in theory, more equal to each other and have more the same chance of acqiring a little wealth for themselves (even if their parents weren´t too well off). Or, to say it in other words: The weak ones should, in theory, have more protection in a communist society than in a capitalist one
I think you meant the Nazis. Nazism was based on pseudoscience that was a misapplication of evolution. Evolution is not a belief, and it's not a political ideology. The Nazis just used it as an excuse, like they used Christianity.
People just don't understand what communism is. They see it as a dictator killing everyone and that's really not what it is at all. It's like socialism, where everyone is "equal" and the government owns everything. Natural selection is actually a lot more like capitalism. Only the people with the ideas and the work ethic will suceed. That's why communism doesn't work. It's pretty much the opposite of natural selection, which just shows that people don't know what they're talking about.
You are referring to social Darwinism, which is only a euphemism for something as basic as tribal conflict. The politicians of Cheepnis like to drum this up, as it never fails to align the slack-jawed masses behind them.
It is a political shtick, not a coherent rational system.
Thank you for admitting that you're guessing here, but your guess is, regrettably, wrong.
correction:
Communism is the rape-child of Socialism and police state.
This theory, which means we guess
BZZZZZZZT, wrong, nice try.
"This theory, which means we guess, is the underpinning of Communism."
Hey dumbass, the 50s are over, the new fear is terrorism, you fail.
This theory, which means we guess, is the underpinning of Communism.
Ever heard of Lysenkoism ? It was based around the idea that acquired traits are heritable, which is Lamarckian evolution, not Darwinian evolution.
Hence, you fail.
Bwahahahahahahahahahah!
Yes, folks, it's summer, it's sunny, it's perfect kayaking weather and a mild 20 degrees c and we've got fundies ! Could life get any better?[/radiohost]
Why do the fundies find such huge pleasure in making shit up? Could it be...
The theory of six-day creation is based upon many well placed guesses. This law, which means we speculate, is the underpinning of Algebra. If the Mathematicians can make us believe we are but dirt and the survival of the smartest is the key to life, they can fail anyone they determine unfit to pass their courses.
Hey, it is fun! Everyone, try it out!
WWII started because the warring states were Christian. Christianity teaches that only whites are fit for survival, and therefore decided to fight each other...
Damn, I can't do it half as good as fundies:(. Oh well, there's still kayaking.
Two points:
a) You're describing social darwinism, an ideology by which the ruling classes justified their domination over the 'less fit' lower classes, that is, a misapplication of the principle of natural selection.
b) Communist Russia actually was against Darwin; they rather believed in the theories of Lysenko, which led among others to disastrous famines in the 20's and 30's.
Neither theories, nor evolution, nor communism works that way.
Anyway what is it with these people and they're mysterious need to lable anything they don't like as communism.
@Urh. It's because neither the Commies nor the Evolutionists believe in Gawd (if you ignore the fact that a great deal of the Evolutionists do believe in Gawd).
I don't think this is the extent of the similarity though. Did you ever notice how neither the commies nor the Evolutionists believe I'm an eight armed Ninja turtle from Mars ??? Just more evidence of the horrors not believing I'm an eight armed Ninja turtle from Mars can lead to.
"Survival of the fittest" as an economic system, is capitalism, you numbnuts. Sink or swim, mother fucker.
"they can kill anyone they determine unfit to survive"
That attitude, In some areas they call those people Christians
Communism != Social Darwinism
You can draw an analogy between Darwinism and the bloody free market, the analogy doesn't work for Communism.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
