Who Was More Important: Lincoln or Darwin?

Darwin's THEORY, too often mistaken as Law, has been disproved over and over again and Evolutionists continue to transform his theory so that it may conform to some degree of truth. 1859 was the year that he published his book and the year that America started to forget what our forefathers fought and died for. We hold so steadfast to the idea that we must put ourselves first that we have forgotten the basics of morality. Darwin's book lended itself to the destruction of the foundation of America--a country founded on Christian principles and beliefs. It taught people to be disregard God because if evolution is true then we evolved from Monkeys instead of being created in His image. If there is no God, then there is no reason to hold the teachings of Jesus and the Bible in high regards. Without those teachings, there comes a demise of morality. What we are left with is what we are witnessing now--a culture full of death and destruction. Without morality, there is no governing a free people for a free nation can only survive if the people to be governed govern themselves. How can we do that if we don't even have a standard of moralityor an absolute moral truth? When we do not control our own behaviors, that is when democracy fails and gives way to a dictatorship. Darwin was wrong. There is a God. There is a purpose to our lives. And there is such a thing as absolute truth. Lincoln wins.

The mere fact that this article compares a man that shaped a nation and another who redefined human thought is outrageous. It's not only that it claims that a human life can be summered up and compared to another to declare a "winner" but rather who get this treatment. On one hand you have a scientist who's work has not only been groundbreaking on it's own but shook every other field of knowledge, not to mention religion or the way humans understand themselves. On the other there's a politician who banned slavery and raged a war against dissident states. But was there a larger influence of his act's in humankind? Probably not, slavery had been banned in other countries many times before, even in the continent, when other nations declared their independence from Spain they also proclaimed freedom for all. On warmongering Lincoln is portrayed as being all vigor and strength, all action compared to the hesitant Darwin who "sat 20 years on his theory". I salute that hesitation, not only because it opens our vision far beyond the spot of land we stand upon but because it lets us wonder what's truly important. For all of us.

You, "whitehrs1", are absolutely right....lets discuss more perinent things! I love Brit more than Lindsay.

I'm going back to watch T.V... I've already proven mathematically that Lincoln wins. (see below)

???If no transitional forms are found in the fossil record than my theory is false??? - Darwins Origin of Species

Uh oh

to Cates @ 4:06, founded on Christianity or not, radical Islam would still like to open a can of "Holy War " whup a** on us!

Interesting how the Darwin theory fans criticize others so harshly for what they do themselves. To believe in evolution requires massive amounts of faith and requires leaving many difficult questions unanswered; they are simply accepting that "evolution is a scientific fact" and anyone who doubts is a fool.
There is only one real truth, and in fact none of us can claim to have undeniable proof of what it is. It is reasonable to believe in a god of creation, and it's also reasonable to believe that a non-god explanation including evolution exists. Neither can be proven, and the only real fools (which unfortunately there are a lot of) are the ones who are claiming their particular belief is a "fact" and anyone not accepting it is a fool. So if you don't believe this, you're a fool.

These are the kind of egotistical ideas that are making our country not only appear ridiculous to the rest of the planet but also to let's say more open minded and cultured individuals in our own. Lincoln was a brilliant man, no doubt about that. And also very important..... to American history. Let us not forget that we are not the center of the planet and that not everything that happens here is the most important thing happening in the world. Like you even stated, slavery had been abolished decades early in England. We were still to primitive to give up the notion of owning other human beings .uUPiuuiup.Oomostother nations on the planet t

I really enjoyed the article. The two greatest liberators of the modern world: one of the slaves, and the other of the mind. However, I must admit I was sorely disappointed with the garbage reference to astrology. To persist in that ignorant, nonscientific delusion while simultaneously discussing the value of Darwin's scientific theory is rather ironic. The two were the way they were because they were great men, not because the stars have nothing better than ordain personality traits and decide whether it???s a good day for your business or relationships.
