An obviously false inference; why so? In what sense would there be no evil without a God? Evidence of evil includes the Nazi and those behind 9/11 -both groups were theists, NOT atheists. Certainly this is proof that believing that there is a God doesn't stop you being evil. How there being no God change the fact that they were evil and did evil acts?
Originally posted by whodeyneither good or evil is defined by science. Not sure what that has to do with anything here. Good and evil is implicitly defined by our intuitive sense of morality, compassion and sense of fairness which are somewhat subjective things and thus, not surprisingly, has no agreed formal scientific definition because it cannot be determined by deductive logic. Because it is neither logical nor illogical but rather alogical and somewhat subjective, it cannot readily be defined scientifically.
Scientifically speaking, what is evil?
Originally posted by whodeywe may never know for sure but, purely within his delusional mind, quite possibly close enough! He was a devout catholic (and was baptized ) who, in his delusional mind, thought God was on the side of the German people and that God guided evolution to create the 'superior' race (his own kind, of course! ) and that he was doing God's will to eradicate (murder ) 'inferior' races. Basically, he was a delusional evil religious nut that thought he was doing God's work by sanctioning mass murder.
Yep, Hitler was all about conquering the world for Jesus.

Now isn’t that just interesting, ol Darwin there talking of the Nazi euthanasia program for expunging the 'weak' elements from our genetic pool! He wasn’t the first! the old Spartans used to leave you on the hillside to die!

If so, how do we study it?

Originally posted by whodeyHe was not retarded but was both delusional and evil and would have either made a warped interpretation of or simply ignored those parts of the Bible that would seem at odds with Nazism such as “turn the other cheek” ( ~words of that effect ) . Perhaps these particular Christians interpreted “turn the other cheek” as, if someone offers you the other cheek, you should use the opportunity to slap the other check? 😕 Who knows how the delusional theist minds deals with such logical inconsistencies other than those theists.
