Ho Hum. Darwin's theory is responsible for all the evil in the world.
Strawman.

So what of all the evil (and there was a lot) prior to Darwin?
Now you're burning your strawman.
As to your question:
There's no such thing as an "evil" action.
atheism-adherent Sartre: "everything is permissible if God does not
exist"

Silence. No explanation.
Tell us sport, who was responsible for the slaughter of innocent folks
in Bezier's during the time of the Cathars? You don't know? It was
Christians who belived the bible literally.
How many died during this "slaughter of innocent folks in Bezier's"?

He can't deny it -- sure, I'm cool with that. I concur. But ... here's your
sign:
He can't *confirm* there's a correlation either. So ... that statement
is utterly nonsense.
I can't deny (and I can't confirm) that Flying Purple Unicorns
made the holocaust possible either.
What's his point. The statement is meaningless bunk. Nonsense,
and I would ;thin a professor would be able to see that.
Ho Hum. Darwin's theory is responsible for all the evil in the world.
Naaaahhhh. Mr. *Atheism* is responsible for all the evil in
the world. Mr. Darwin's just riding his coat-tails. <grin>

"During the thirteenth century the town witnessed one of the worst
massacres in the region - 20,000 people were put to death during the
crusade against the Cathars, many of whom had sought refuge in
Bézier's [sic] churches: Cathars and Catholics alike were slaughtered
indiscriminately on the orders of a papal legate who believed God would
recognise his own."

Bingo! What a wise fellow you are! Smaaarttrt as paint ye arrre! That is
the very attitude that drives the insanity emerging from the Islamic
world. Kill'em all. God will gather up His own. And it has nothing to do
with Darwin. Perish forbid! Darwin, with all his limitations and flaws
was a very mild mannered and gentle human being who sought truth and
intended no evil. The latter day result of his pursuits in Naturalism
ultimately lead to a unified theory of living things well based on
physical processes. Genetics and Molecular Biology. Finding out that we
are all made of RNA and DNA was as important as finding out we are all
made of atoms. This discovery would have happened much later without
Darwin and Wallace, but it would have happened sooner or later because
that is how the world is and how the world works.

Ho Hum. Darwin's theory is responsible for all the evil in the world.
Strawman.
Atheism existed long before Darwin came along.

Strawman.
Atheism existed long before Darwin came on the scene. Many Romans and
Greeks did not accept their official state's religion.
