re: #219 Blind Frog Belly White

The other thing is the people who claim “If you believe in evolution, you can’t be opposed to (fill in selfish crime here)”, because they insist it’s a belief system, not just an explanation for the diversity and relatedness of flora and fauna.

That claim is also made against atheists and agnostics. It’s like thousands of years of legal codes and ethics never came into being.

I don’t want to rape or kill anyone, or thieve or batter someone. It has nothing to do with religion, it has to do with me not being a psychopath.

And conflation of evolution by natural selection (or climate science) as “belief systems” or “religions” are dishonest arguments.

But they aren’t trying to convince me. They are trying to convince others who might not be educated on what evolution or climate science are. Such people are using propaganda to advance their positions by strawmanning or otherwise misrepresenting what science (and non-belief) really are.
