→complaints about my administrative decision yesterday
"Evolution was designed to give an alternative to Creation because people did not want to believe in God." Seems like this statement should have some source to back it up, if it's genuinely intended to make the claim that Darwin/Wallace (presumably) specifically set out to create an explanation for life that left God out.--[[User:Murray|Murray]] 16:25, 9 March 2007 (EST)

:I would contend that it is irrelevant if Darwin and/or Wallace were athiests. If the theory is sound, then its sound regardless of theie intent. If we condemned items strictly on who hand a hand in their development, we wouldn't be driving Volkswagens on the Interstate Highway System, both of which had their genesis in Nazi Germany.--[[User:Dave3172|Dave3172]] 16:44, 9 March 2007 (EST)
