RE: [asa] Fwd: Denyse reviews Collins

Was the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks in WWI a
consequence of the theory of evolution? I will not accept as an answer
that the Young Turks read Darwin and decide to kills all the Armenians
within the shrinking Ottoman Empire boarders.

Huh.... Evolution in its most basic formulation is exactly that which
you seem to deny it is

evolution: Darwin defined this term as "descent with modification." It
is the change in a lineage of populations between generations. In
general terms, biological evolution is the process of change by which
new species develop from preexisting species over time; in genetic
terms, evolution can be defined as any change in the frequency of
alleles in populations of organisms from generation to generation.

what evolutionary theory is all about!
