> [@elucidator](#): > > Liberals had nothing to do with the misapprehension of Darwinism as an argument to demonstrate and validate atheism. That started over one hundred fifty years ago, when Darwin first opened his big fat mouth. There was an instaneous furor and revulsion, however ill-deserved. And so, in the popular opinion, Darwinism became synonymous with atheism. And a Betty Noyer for mouth-breathing yokels throughout the Chigger Belt. > > And it has been handed down, from generation to generation, along with biblical inerrancy and end-times lunacy. Down through time, through the Scopes Trial and to this very day, long, long before Adlai Stevenson was even born. It was the fervent belief of ignorant people, it was the lever by which unscrupulous politicians manipulated them. And to this very day, they are still doing it. > > Its not my fault that the conservative wing of our politics is most prone to such sordid alliances. If I could stop them from doing so short of throttling them with my bare hands, I would. I’m sorry, I thought we were talking about the fact that so many people in today’s society are of the mistaken belief that evolution accounts for both the beginning and development of life on the planet as we know it today, and that to a very large degree this is because the left constantly uses evolution to deny creationism. This creates a false impression, given that creation is involved with, you know, the creation of life, and it causes people to think that evolution is being alleged to be responsible for the creation of life. It’s easy to see why the left poses the issue in this way though: abiogenesis still doesn’t have the answers. So it can’t be used by athiests and anti-Christian liberals to counter creationism. So now we have a situation where the left apparently is deliberately creating the impression that evolution accounts for life on this planet, while simultaneously making fun of people for thinking that liberals believe that evolution accounts for life on this planet. So, if a person truly wants to be honest and understand where people are coming from when they say the things they do, then that person needs to understand that the population at large has been mislead as to what is meant by evolution, and also what is meant when they talk about the “theory of evolution”, which is in reality abiogenesis - a term rarely used in the national dialog between science and creationism. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-you-conservative-stupid-making-machine/555977)._
