    Starrman, I beg you, bail out of this now while you still have your senses and before your head explodes.

    Here's a simple reason - by teaching that man is a highly evolved creature, one could argue that human morality is superior to animal morality (or lack thereof). Therefore, the Columbine killers would be abandoning their 'superior' humanity to return to 'inferior' bestiality in killing their fellow-pupils.

    The idea that this horrific act of violence is not only irrational. it is evil. Only a wicked heart could suggest this.

    But why would this discourage them? I thought natural selection had to do with survival of the fittest?

    You call that a "reason"? Oh my f-cking God! I can't believe people like you exist. Have I been so naive as to assume you have a small amount of intelligence? I think I have.

    Those poor kids did not even know what 'evil' was, thanks to the TOE.

    One could argue that a moral being (like man) is "fitter" than an amoral being. So, by rejecting human morality, they are becoming less "fit", not more.

    You can argue this now. But were these kids taught this at school?

    Me thinks the TOE is taught as a scientific theory and the kids have to make up their own morality. I don't know of any occasion where the TOE adresses morality.

    Btw: How does the TOE explain morality in the first place?

    Both you and Hitler confuse force and use of violence with the concept of fitness.
