Is Darwinism the root of all evil and responsible for the current spurt of terrorism?

Update:

People - I do not actually believe this. I just wanted to see how many others are of a similar thought. I find it amusing that a member of Islam is essentially passing the buck.

    No I understand terrorism is due to fanatical religious groups who think everyone who doesn't believe in their Religion are all evil. Nothing to do with Darwin's theory at all. When people become fanatical they do irrational things. No one goes to heaven by being a terrorist as many believe they are doing it in the name of God. The Muslims are not the first terrorists. It is in most mainstream religions throughout history. Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. (Different names for the same One God. Your God is my God. Hallelujahs, Hare Krishna, Allah Akbar, God is One. Only this understanding can bring Word Peace.

    Ha, not at all.

    Realization of the way life changes does not compel sane, educated, middle class people to strap bombs to their chests and blow up a subway.

    However, a holy book that tells you to murder infidels (even women and children if its "in the defense of islam"), and repeatedly says to kill nonbelievers and you (and your friends/family) will be let into an eternal paradise does. Once you genuinely believe that you and your family spend an eternal paradise together if you die in a suicide bomb, then it becomes really very rational for architects and engineers to fly planes into skyscrapers.

    I would say that belief in the Darwinian concept of evolution is responsible for SOME evil but not ALL evil - how is Darwin to blame for the problem of lust, for example?

    Darwinism is a tool in the hands of the intellectual, antichrist elite with which they condone racism and promote the lie that those who believe they are superior have the right to rule the world and to subjugate the masses.

    * This is, of course, a logical fallacy.

    * There's no such thing as 'darwinism'. Do you mean 'science'?

    * For the most part, religion is responsible for terrorism.

    Nope. People in general are the cause of terrorism.

    How could terrorist attacks done in the name of Islam and Allah have anything to do with Charles Darwin? Please tell me this is a joke.

    No, it people who abuse their power and take advantage of their followers. it really fear, ignorance and intolerance, and perhaps hidden angry in there childhood that why people do horrible things to others, it what feel inside so i am guessing that why do terrible things.
