Evolution theory turns colleges into hellholes of depression

More College Freshmen Report Having Felt Depressed

The prediction of creationists in the early 20th century of evolution theory bringing "hell to the highschool", turns out true.

With evolution theory you are creating a study environment in which any knowledge about how things are chosen in the universe is discarded, and with that any subjectivity about what made the decisions turn out the way they do is discarded as well. No room is provided for subjectivity at all, hence students become depressed.

Most significantly at Harvard, where the predominance of atheism is the largest. That hellhole where 50 percent of students become seriously depressed during their studentcareer, should be closed down as a health hazard for mental health.

The study doesn't mention anything about depression being caused by the teaching of evolution, does it???

So what. 1+1=2, if you take away all knowledge about how things are chosen, you take away all subjectivity in regards to what makes those decisions turn out the way they do as well. So with throwing out creationism, you throw out subjectivity as well, and that results in depression.

You have not proven that the depression is caused by evolutionary theory. Even if it was, that would be an example of the argument from adverse consequences fallacy.

My theory is being one of the toughest Universities in the world to graduate from, that could be a factor in the students higher rate of depression, trying to keep up with their school load.

Um, what? Congratulations though, I didn't know you had a doctorate in psychology.

The obvious reason is the real reason.
Your theory doesn't fit the bill unfortunately. It's like the old believe that the sky is held up by pillars, we know that the sky haven't fallen on our head, so there must be pillars holding up the sky. There is as much proof for this believe, as there is for creation.

Since it is painfully obvious you cannot read, I took the time to find this video so you might listen to my response.

Change the record, man, please.

You've surely realised that most people here disagree with your views on this matter pretty strongly, and that most people here disagree that atheists are evil.

What do you hope to gain by stirring up the same issue again?

Seeing as there are a massive number of variables at play here, it doesn't seem to make sense to assign a set cause to this. That's not the scientific method.

He doesn't believe in the scientific method. He probably longs for the European Dark Ages, and would likely be horrified to realize how educated & scientifically literate Islam used to be. Until people like him started running it.

Teaching evolution theory causes less subjectivity. Less subjectivity causes Depression. What?

Harvard has seriously depressed students. Schools with seriously depressed students should be closed down. Thus, Harvard should be closed down? What? Help me out here bud. Where did the 50% come from? Its not in the article.

I think you misread Haverford College of Pennsylvania as Harvard University of Massachusetts.

OK. So help me out here: Let’s assume that these students are atheists, and that atheism is correlated with depression. You have no evidentiary support for that proposition, but I’m just going to grant it for the purpose of discussion.

So what? Maybe the truth hurts, but it is the truth.
