Lincoln or Darwin?

Today marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin. One grew up to be one of this countries greatest presidents and one to author a book that would forever change the direction of this country. One abolished slavery and one promoted evolution. Lincoln's accomplishments are rooted in fact while Darwin's are theory. How is it then that today the man who's ideas were theory and who himself admitted his theories had many flaws has influenced this country more than the 16th President who helped abolish slavery and successfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War?

Darwin's evolution theory was designed as an alternative to God creating the world in which we live. His theory is not that difficult to counter (but that will be another blog). While human evolution was the thesis in his book Origin of Species the evolution that actually took hold was the evolution of society.

When 51% or more of the population doesn't pay taxes and can vote for the laws for those that do we are on a slippery slope to Socialism. Only time will tell where we are headed but without some tough choices being made by the American public the future isn't as bright as it could be.
