I don't recall anything in the Theory of Evolution that says humans are monkeys and have no value.
Which would give you greater self-esteem and respect for one another:
1. You are, at best, a cosmic accident and evolved from something that you can go see at the zoo. Survival of the fittest is in effect, kill or be killed out there.
2. You are a unique creation of an almighty God who loves you and every other person around you. Love thy neighbor as God as made all people equal.
A. There is no conflict between believing you a product of God and believing in evolution. You can still believe you were intentionally born with a purpose and that humans have an elevated status, while still believing that natural selection produced us.
B. I don't think there are any particular ethical prescriptions provided for humans from #A. "Be or be killed" applies to the animal world while it's particularly obvious that that is not the case for Mississippi.

D. Well, if the science doesn't support it, should we be teaching kids pseudo-lies just to ensure social harmony? That sounds dictatorial to have politicians with no scientific background to be dictating what's in our science class in order to promote cohesion? How about we just teach all of our kids that Obama is God so that they don't try and throw a revolution?
I suppose we should just forget about science and just replace it with Bible Studies, this conversation is stupid and you're using stupid strawman arguments
