Afraid of controversy? This country has been mired in controvery for ages.

Movieguide.org is the source of the controversy in this instance. Describing Darwin as "a racist, a bigot and an1800s naturalist whose legacy is mass murder" only proves their own bigotry and intolerance for any belief not their own.

To say Darwin’s theory is ‘half-baked’ when supported by insurmountable scientifically backed evidence while only ‘faith’ backs up their belief is pure religious zealotry.

To condemn Darwin’s theory as ‘half-baked’ while zealously clinging to faith without scientific proof is amazingly short-sighted.

I am not condemning believers, I am a believer myself, but to ridicule another person’s belief because it is different is hateful, extremely narrow-minded and very un-Christian.

The statement that Darwin’s theory directly influenced Adolf Hitler and led to "atrocities, crimes against humanity, cloning and genetic engineering", is unbelievably irresponsible and further proves that the reviewers at Movieguide.org, a supposedly Christian website, are not above spreading hate and lies.

Darwin didn’t say ‘kill all religion’ but I can very clearly see that America’s religious right would want to kill him, just for his belief. Now how hypocritical is that?

(Clipped the same article) Amazing that less than forty per cent understand science. I noticed it wasn't showing in countries such as Iran, for the same reasons.

I don't have any problem with Darwin. Everyone should be allowed to make mistakes. After all, his ancestors were apes, I understand.

Tabsey, I didn't mean to clip the same article, I try not to. Great minds and all that

It doesn't surprise me that a religious fundamentalist country would not be open to learning another side of life. It just ticks me off when anyone preaches tolerance but fail to follow through.

I was being facetious, bear. .

Why not just make light of it because no amount of education is going to enlighten someone who chooses not to see.

The most shameful thing is that in many cases, it's not that Americans lack access to education, but rather, many of them choose to be ignorant. That is the shameful legacy of the United States.

Jay, this is the Internet; not a mirror.
