Is evolution denial any more cridible than holocaust denial?

Question

Or the flat earth society?

Answer 1

Slightly more credible. There are still little holes in the theory of evolution. There isn't much to debate about the holocaust.

(Don't get me wrong: I don't bother to argue about either because I don't think either question is fundamentally "open" at this point.)

Answer 2

As an evolution believer, I'd have to say that it has more deniability than either the Holocaust (of which there are still survivors who can describe what the witnessed and went through) or the "flat Earth" theory (which has LONG since been disproven).

Answer 3

Well, I believe that Darwin was correct, but in all fairness, I have to say that there is a difference between Darwin's theory and the Holocaust. First of all, there is no doubt whatsoever that the Holocaust did happen. We have documents that prove it. Second, while there is a lot of evidence that supports Darwin's theory, it is still just a theory, because there is no proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's true. And a theory doesn't become a scientific law until there is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that something is true.

Answer 4

Holocaust = Fact. Evolution = almost proven with some gaps. What's your point? Evolution doesn't explain the beginning of the universe unless nothingness evolved.

Answer 5

Some species have evolved, or adapted , by growing an extra this or that or by developing the ability to change colors.
The Holocaust really happened.
The earth is not flat.

Good luck and may God bless you.

Answer 6

It's funny because atheists used to say "Pontious Pilate" didn't exist during the first century, but archealogists have found letters from Pilate.

Another point..

Atheists used to deny the existence of the Hittite people.
Archealogists found writings from the Hittite people.
Harvard University now teaches the Hittite language.

Answer 7

Never made the connection before, but there are lots of parallels.

Both are denials of actual facts based on a perceived threat to various radical conservatives' worldview.

All three are reactions from paranoid people against what they see as a conspiracy among intelligent people to try to push their political agenda.

At least the 1st 2 mask their own political agenda under the idea that "we're right because we're God's chosen people and have access to wisdom that you pagans and sinners don't."

Good point, dude.

Answer 8

I would have you know that evolution as we have been lead to believe is currently been disputed due to a skull of a species identical to ours millions of years old found in the area of the oldest skull that was believed to have been our ancestor million of years ago. Within a few hundred years difference, so is logic to say we co existed in the same environment.

Answer 9

How can you compare the two? One is a theory and another is a proven fact? Im a Christian and I do beleive in natural selection to a point. Did the birds on Galpagos change beaks? Sure... Did a man evolve from a monky eh.. Id have to say no

Answer 10

they are too different to compare. to deny the holocaust is to mock the plight of an entire race... but to deny evolution is to blindly follow an outdated passage. This is frustrating and silly but harmless and innocent. neither hold any credibility.
