Darwinian evolution is a leftist socialist idea?!? Are you serious? Again, I have to ask, is that supposed to be a parody? There is nothing remotely political about the organizing principles of biology. This is like saying that Newton's laws of motion are capitalistic, or Ohm's law is pornographic. I have heard of people being opposed to evolution because of their religious ideas, but this is the first time I have heard of someone who thinks it is socialistic. This is mind boggling. I think I will add you to my kill file. Actually, as far as I know, the only time Darwinian evolution was applied to economics was in the late 19th century so-called social Darwinism. That was the opposite of socialism. It was Ayn Rand style capitalism. In my opinion it was a silly abuse of the theory. An oversimplification. It is not widely believed today as far as I know. I do not know any biologists who took it seriously. It was sort of like taking Einstein's relativity and claiming it is justification for anthropological cultural relativity. The two are completely unrelated, except for the name. - Jed
