Darwinsist assert that only material exist

  • How much does hate weight?
  • Is there an atom for love?

Can also assert that Hitler was not responsibile for what he did, he just had bad molecules

Their "cooperative" morals helped humans survuve together does not explain people knowingly engaged in detructive behaviors vs nobler ends that mere survival.

Assuming survival is good thing can not be guarenteed when there is no moral law to lead people to good

Do whatever brings the greatest good? By what standard?

Without the moral law, why should people obey anything when there is nothing beyond this world?

Adolf Hitler used Darwin's theory as philosophical justification for the Holocaust. 

In Darwin's survival of the fitest, there are superior races and interior races. Without moral law, genocide is an end the a means. Ideas have consequences.

If only material things exist, then murder and thief are nothing more than the result of chemical reactions in the birain brought about by natural selection.


Key Phrase: The idea of only a material world existing has consequences

Notes from: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist by Frank Turek.
