Evolution is a fairytale for grownups

On Nov. 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published his book, “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, Or The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.”
To be sure, racism didn't begin with Darwin's theory of biological evolution, but it did cause its increase by orders of magnitude. It provided, for example, Hitler's Germany the fraudulent scientific rationale for the atrocities it committed against the Jewish people.
Accepting evolutionary theory is but a short step to atheism, and atheism is the pathway to communism or total government control. (Do you support politicians who advocate unlimited government?)
An evolutionist is someone who calls a frog instantly turning into a prince a fairytale, but by adding millions of years to the process it becomes evolutionary science! Evolution is in essence then a fairytale for grown-ups who ultimately believe that nothing evolved into something.
You are much saner and safer to believe the Genesis account of creation by the God of the Bible.
