Creationism on Huffington Post. My interview part 2/6.

This interview was conducted by the team at Agnostic Salvation Hour. The audio can be found here: http://agnosticsalvation.podomatic.com/

David Klinghoffer, from the Discovery Institute wrote an article with the usual ignorance and dishonest displayed by those at the DI.

His article from HuffPo can be found here (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-klinghoffer/the-dark-side-of-darwinis_b_630­627.html)

This list of logical fallacies and butchered science is taken apart in this interview. Its a good listen as it answers many of creationists claims, and is entertaining as well. Enjoy!

Hitler and Stalin were both followers of Lamarkian evolutionary theory, not Darwinian evolution by natural selection. So they were just as ignorant and rejected science in favour of ideology.

Sound familiar? It is exactly what religion does.

"Mao, Stalin, Hitler" were people that weren't very nice". as if its that simple. heres a thought, why where they not nice? lets take hitler,have you ever thought that one of the reasons he was not nice is because of religion? religion can turn people crazy.it can also make a person think there crazy ideas are reasonable. example,if you think owning slaves is ok,then you read the bible and it says its ok to own slaves,you're going to start to think it must be ok to own slaves cause god said so

When creationists attack, or even theists attack atheists it is a matter of trying to show guilt by association, yet even when they do that it really doesn't fit, because most of the time they get the facts wrong. Hitler was not an atheist, and the Catholic Church was not so much of an obfuscation to Hitler's madness anyway. They were scared s**tless and failed to properly go against Hitler.

I wish the interviewers would let the guest speak. They chose him for a reason. He is way more interesting than the hosts are. Shut up and let him speak.

Even if he wasn't a Christian, how many evil tyranical motherfuckers were?

[digitalblasphemy1100]

@johnycannuk hitler abandoned his faith very eary in his life and i would like to see just one interview with hitler or any speech where he was giving credit to God for what he did to the jews. i'm not saying youre wrong but i have never seen or heard and i cannot find either. thanks

[johnycannuk]

@digitalblasphemy1100 In just about every speech he gave on the matter. Basicaly he claimed he was doing the work of Christ in persecuting them. And the Germans, predominantly Catholics (like Hitler) and Lutherans, ate it up.

[digitalblasphemy1100]

@johnycannuk its interesting how these guys keep bringing up evolution vs. creation when evolution doesnt have anything to do with the explanation of the origin of life.

[digitalblasphemy1100]

when did hitler say his treatment to the jews had something to do with his belief in God?

[HimesInu]

@Poleschs I know that Hitler went after the Jews because of his religion, but what gave him the ability to go after them, what he used for the people of Germany to hate the Jews, was the idea that the Jews caused Germany to lose WWI
