I thought that everyone was equal. Atheist who believe in evolution say that different races evolve at different times and races evolve from other races meaning that one race is better than another.
Darwin spoke of the "gorilla" and the "*****" [sic] as occupying evolutionary positions between the "Baboon" and the "civilized races of man" ("Caucasian"); viz: At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate, and replace, the savage races throughout the world. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes ... will no doubt be exterminated. The break between man and his nearest allies will then be wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, even than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as now between the ***** [sic] or Australian and the gorilla.

Because it is easier to make fun of what you don't understand than to try and understand and get the facts straight.

This is a weak argument for several reasons...
A) "Survival of the fittest" does not mean the survival of the best. There is no value system, only better suited for specific environments.
B) Attacking Darwin does not discredit the theory of evolution. If I argued that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, it would say nothing of the benefits of democracy.
C) Most atheist do not think theists are dumb, just misled.

Who is better ? Does not depend upon your creed but how sincere you are to your convictions?Atheist are poor "have nots" they want to assert their credibility by exposing the hypcracies of believers.If you are sincere to your convictions and hypocrats, why should you take them seriously?If all the world becomes atheist will it be the ultimate success of this disorganised community of atheist who only share negation?

i didnt even bother to read your whole involved discussion/question. its much too long.
im an atheist. i dont think im better than anyone.
i think there are lots and lots of ppl that are much better than me, for whichever reason.
just cause we took the time to rationalize our existance, and thought outside the box, doesnt make us better, or smarter, just enlightened.

All the atheists change in time, at least just before death.
