We Athiests have something to worry about then, if all Christians are cleverer that Charles Darwin.

"Steven Mctowelie" , Do you really think you're giving Christians a good name by comparing Darwin's theory to Nazi Germany?

Fortunately, most Christians (in the world) accept the theories of Darwin and the evolutionists who followed him for the truth they are.
You're referring to the terminally dense, though. Not much we can do about them.

I believe Darwin's evalution by natural selection is true. Do I believe we come from monkeys or apes? Absolutely not, I'm a Christian. But obviously we do evolve and the people with the more desirable traits are more likely to find mates and pass those traits on eventually populating the world with those desirable traits...woo there's evalution by natural seletion. How can people say all of his work is utter rubbish??
Are Christians more clever then Darwin...if he didn't find Jesus before he died then yep we are. I don't have to have evidence of God....I have faith and because of that I am able to believe in something we can't see or touch.

He was a good scientist, his interest was in Natural History and later in his theory of how life evolves.
Either his daughter or niece, who he was very affectionate about, died at an early age, and that made him bitter towards God, and veer towards atheism. This bitterness probably influenced him as he wrote Origin of the Species, so that thought on traditional christian ideas about God's involvement in the whole creation process did not have a role in his meditations.
For instance, who can say if God did or did not make some of the changes in species directly, as well as through the "default" natural selection process that Darwin uncovered - its impossible to tell.

Does a pot know more than a potter? God knows far more than Darwin and God has told us that he created all things. Therefore we do not claim to know more than Darwin as he had access to the same information - the Bible, as Christians though we choose to believe it!
By the way on his death bed Darwin changed his mind. Hmmm!

I don't claim to know better but believe differently than Darwin but that's really beside the point isn't it? Darwin wasn't debating the existence of God, he was just trying to figure out how we came to be as we are. He came out with the theory of Evolution which you atheists now cling to as scientific gospel but it is still a theory guys and a flawed one at that. Sorry.

I am an atheist, but I don't feel that I am any cleverer or smarter than people who believe in god. I don't think Christians feel that way in general. And certainly Charles Darwin didn't look down on people who didn' agree with him. Many members of my family are devout Catholics, but they don't think I am a fool. Well, some do, but not for that reason, you understand!

I'm sorry but your question is flawed. You seem to think evolution is an atheist belief. It's not. It's science. There are many Christians (including the official position of the Catholic Church) that support evolution. I'd be surprised if there were many atheists who didn't 'believe' in evolution, but there will be a few - mainly the worst educated.

Yes. Darwin is a crazy monkey guy, Jesus is the Truth. Why in the world would I choose to believe some scientist over someone who DIED for me? And not just 'died', was CRUCIFIED just for me, to give me life everlasting! And now He lives. So I win ;)

It is not a matter of intelligence. Members of Mensa have radically divergent views. Johann Kepler, who most acknowledge as a super-genius, believed in Jesus. Your question is based on a false hypothesis.
There are many fields of life where the mind cannot show what the heart longs to know.

He had God inspired intelligence. He was the one to carry it out but God is the architect.
Edit: I agree totally with Steven Darwin's theory became Hitler's ideology Social-Darwinism The strong shall survive etc. You can ask yourself what good has his theory brought? nothing. It was only good for evil purposes. And this led to the most horrifying war ever.
Sorry but i rather follow Christ.
Quality answers on this page btw!

Darwin and Marx tried to reduce humanity to monkeys and economics. Their ideas led to Eugenics/Nazism, and World Revolution/Communism. Nice people these atheists! Do any research and you will see. BTW Sir Francis Galton (Darwin's cousin!) was the first in the pseudoscience of Eugenics, which was snapped up as a key part of Nazi Ideology. Anyone that is half way smart knows Hitler was not a Christian. Don't believe me, check for yourself, I have LOVED the INFO onto the page here, to dispel an illusion for you.
