I've read somewhere that the theory of evolution has caused an increase in these negative traits, what do u think?

Personally I feel it did. I think that if we had been taught in school that the Bible was the only true account of creation that we would realize, hey we are ALL RELATED. And that in that realization there is a certain level of respect and acceptance, basically unconditional love. If evolution had not been introduced, which is exactly what Satan wanted, then I doubt our history would be filled with as much hate as it is. :)

yes if you truly belive in this theory in which i dont at all you would accept that white races are superior or more hghly evolved than others ,history shows that {slavery for eg] im no racist but the therory is based on survival of the fittest for eg if you are in the usa which groups or what races have more priveledge than others,its always been the same no matter how you package it but remember evelution is only a THEORY not a FACT scientists have differing views of it some dissmiss it and it just hasnt any proof to back it up

Nah, racism and antisemitism were long existing traits in western culture.
Misapplication by people who wish to rationalize their bigotries, if it hadn't been discovered yet they would have invented some other thing to try and make it respectable.
The idea that evolutionary theory created racism/antisemitism is usually posited by creationists who wish to defame evolution on an emotional basis.

the theory didn't cause anything, evolution may have since it relies on propagating the fittest (mentally/physically). However, in one generation, evolution can't be seen 'in action.' It takes ten of thousands of years for changes to occur...at least the major changes.

Racism? Most likley not unless certain races where saying they are further evolved then others. And anti-semitism? No. Anti-'god-created-the-earth-religions'? Most likley.

U won't be able to understand evolution if u don blieve in God. Even if everything originated during a "BIGBANG" from high energy particles, how did those particles originate????????

I don't think so.
However it is true that some people try to find an evolutionary explanation to base/justify their racism and "prove" their point of view to others.
