Do you think that denying the fact of evolution is intellectually the same as denying the holocaust?

Question

I do. The evidence for evolution is all over the place. This is why I like to call them "evolution deniers." The fascist creationist machine needs to stop spreading their anti-evolution propaganda and start embracing the truth. People would think that after galileo we'd learn not to do these things again, but clearly that is not the case.

Answer 1

Is your analogy emotive and potentially inflammatory? Yes.

Is it essentially correct? Yes. IMO
.

Answer 2

No, in fact, it is quite easy to deny evolution from the standpoint of an American, as this is the only viewpoint I can really speak for. Science has produced some of the most false and misleading conclusions, especially statistics, in recent history as has been seen throughout time. No one can deny the fact that scientific results can and should be rejected by people who have spiritual proof otherwise. Perhaps some men have interbred into the ape race, although I would have to argue they have yet to show any increase in the development of language, so until you can raise your pet monkey to talk and build towers like the vain millionares of today, I am sure my relatively loose belief in the truths of the Holy Bible could much easily stand for the rejection of cousin Ape than rejecting the horrible corpses in photos I've seen.

Answer 3

i belive in evolution to but there are some arguments against it like, Where are the in between stages of evolution like between a monkey and a human none have been found and also evolution states that as things evolve they get more advanced but any evolution we have seen like dogs coming from wolves the species was made simpler the dna was taken away leaving a simpler strand of dna so how can a simple single cell organism turn into a human being which has the most complex dna sequence there is

Answer 4

if evolution=fact it would be called the law of evolution. dont forget the different theories of evolution(ill assume you're referring to Darwinian, Lamarian evolution is just silly)

second Galileo got in trouble for insulting the pope and telling people how to read the bible. The fact that the scientists who disaggreed with him spread dirty rumors probably didnt help either.

as for the holocaust, there's eye witnesses.

-comparing holocaust deniers to evoution deniers is intellecutally the same as comparing apples to oranges-

Answer 5

First of all, evolution is not a fact, it is a theory because no one was there. So to say it is a fact is wrong. 2nd, there is very little to no evidence that supports evolution if you are a real scientist, biologist, or any type of science. The more you try to prove evolution the more you find yourself with more questions. I am not insulting you, just understand that this is a nieve thing to believe... dig really deep as a scientist and you will find evolution is a funny thing to believe.

Answer 6

Dear Alucard,

Absolutely not!. The holocaust is a terribly reality that occurred. Evolution, on the other hand, is a fable. Apparently you are not involved in any of the science fields because you would certainly identify the gross errors in this pitiful theory.

May I suggest that you get a beginners textbook on "scientific experimentation" to learn the fundamentals of good experimental design and testing. You will definitely need some understanding of radioactive labelling and dating procedures. You will also need some background in geology and topography of the earth over time.

Maybe when you get into high school you will begin to have a better understanding of these and see the fallacy of evolution.

Answer 7

Intellectually equivalent, yes.

Morally equivalent, no.

It is intellectually equivalent because it requires the same kind of resolute "deny, deny, deny the evidence" effort.

But denying the holocaust is is adding insult to the deaths of all those people ... by trying to forget them.

Denying evolution is just flat out willful ignorance.

Denying the holocaust is not only flat out willful ignorance, but morally despicable as well.

Answer 8

Evolution is not a fact, it's a theory someone thought up. Actually, the story of the Great world-wide Flood in Genesis and the scattered remains (fossils) of all the animals everywhere, is a good indication the Bible is true!

Answer 9

I agree with you.
There is less evidence of the Holocaust than of evolution actually. Sure the Holocast evidence is more dramatic: pictures, eye witness accounts etc.
But the sheer volume of evidence for evolution is in orders of magnitude greater.

Answer 10

Ha ha, I love this question. It rings so true. Someone commented that we are taking the word of scientists, just like they take the word of the bible. So whats the difference??? Scientists are the ones curing cancer, and creating other miracles here on earth. The religions that believe in the bible are koran are fighting eachother. I'll go with the cancer curer. They seem to be doing gods work, even though they are the ones that believe in EVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!

Answer 11

No ob course not. The terrible 'holocaust' actually happened back before and during the World War II over in German controlled Europe. Whereas, evolution did not happen, and until those notorious 'gaps' in the fossil records are ALL explained, this believing Christian, scientist(not labeled) will NEVER accept it as fact!!!
