The OP seems to have sparked some reasoned, measured debate that's commonly lacking on BOL. People are being respectful and making their arguments (for the most part). Don't understand why you "hate" my OP.
I've learned something from zigzag and Gabe both, which was my intent. I apologize if this thread has offended you in some way. Now please stop derailing.VegasTide

As I'm sure you're all aware, today marks the birthdays of 2 of the greatest thinkers of the post-Enlightenment period: Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, and Abraham Lincoln, the Great Emancipator. Just wanted to remind everyone to thank their lucky stars that history produced 2 such extraordinary men.
The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.

So ws your OP to celebrate 2 great lives or to have a great debate? Your tune has changed. Please, for the sake of not insulting our intelligence, don't pretend that you were trying to (1) learn something or (2) celebrate great people by starting this thread.
I have more respect for Bama Aussie because he at least states his intent and doesn't hide behind a completely see-thru veil of intentions. It's just annoying.

The OP was intended to celebrate the lives of 2 great men. The reasoned debate has been a favorable offshoot that I hoped would ensue. Had I wanted to stir the pot or whatever it is you're accusing me of doing, I could have chosen much more inflammatory quotes. Instead, I chose 2 quotes I didn't think anyone would take offense to, regardless of their political or spiritual beliefs. Now kindly stop trying to derail my thread. Thank you.

As the local villain, I am upset that anyone would respect you less than me. This is a title I hold dear. I am the bold, the daring Australian, left leaning, scientifically favoring agnostic atheist that all love to hate. And I'd have it no other way.
How dare you steal others' vitriol! How else can I feed my little jesus-eating Darwin fish?

The Law of Entropy (in the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics) contradicts the *theory* of Evolution, as everything moves towards disorder and useful energy in the universe cannot come into existence from nothing, by any natural process. Therefore, there has to be a beginning, and a Creator.
Evolutionism is no less a religion than Creationism, as each must be accepted on faith, since no one in Science (or on earth, for that matter) has lived long enough to witness genetic evolution actually occur.
