I am not the one that has based my beliefs on the writtings of a madman, you and your people are the one that made him' the Father of Evolution' not me. To me he is the father of one of the biggest travesties of history. And again yes he stole his ideas, and took credit for them...

I am not the one that has based my beliefs on the writtings of a madman,
So, you don't believe in the bible?
I suppose this genius is talking about Darwin... Actually, other naturalist developed the same ideas, without any contact with Darwin. His name was Alfred Russel Wallace. Darwin didn't steal ideas and gave credit to Wallace. They even exchange some letters.
"I am not the one that has based my beliefs on the writtings of a madman"
The Bible is nothing more than the rantings of Bronze Age goatfuckers who had ideas above their stations. Your point, jester461?
And Darwin had come up with the idea of evolution through natural selection before Wallace. He just spent years developing it and afraid to publish his works until Wallace came along, at which point he was afraid Wallace would get all the credit for something Darwin had spent years working on. And if he decided to "steal" all his ideas, why are you calling him "the father of one of the biggest travesties in history" instead of the people whose ideas he supposedly stole?
Also like to point out that Wallace was willing to let Darwin go public with it instead of himself, as he was actually an admirer of Darwin and believed he deserved the credit. At least, that's what I learned in my biology class.
“I am not the one that has based my beliefs on the writtings of a madman,”
You’ve never read Revelation, huh?
“you and your people are the one that made him' the Father of Evolution' not me.”
Ravings that stand up under scrutiny are pretty impressive rantings. Or they’re actually science, whether or not you like it.
"To me he is the father of one of the biggest travesties of history.”
Never been to Salem for the Witch Trials museums?
Never heard of the Children’s Crusade?
“And again yes he stole his ideas, and took credit for them...”
Doesn’t really matter, we treat him as a pioneer, not a prophet. It’s the science that persists, and expands.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
