Evolution theory turns colleges into hellholes of depression

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.

The "obvious reason" is that you are simply making this up without any true reason or evidence, apparently out of passion alone.

Don't you see dishonesty?


50% is not honest?
creationist is not honest?
using evolution Is not honest?


I think making stuff up was very generous on your part.

Do you have the slightest idea how long evolution has been taught? It's the foundation of biology, diseases research, animal care, just about everything that involves how life works.

You cannot be this dense. I refuse to believe it's possible.

'Have felt depressed' is not the same as 'have suffered from depression'.

Very true.

Depression is a part of life. Lets look at someone in islam, and play OPs game.

Islam and creationism can cause severe depression.

Every morning I wake up and wish I hadn’t.


At nighttime I cry faintly into my pillow with tears streaming down my cheeks. I whimper in pain,


I whisper, “Oh Allah, I don’t want to live anymore. Oh Allah, please, I don’t want to live anymore.”

Basic population genetics was worked out back in the '30s.

Darwin's (and Wallace's) Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection was put forward in 1859. That's over 150 years ago.

That correlates with the ending of slavery here.

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.
why? I've found evolution theory be sensible and it's application to the real world to be rather fascinating. I'd have to say its not the theory itself that is at fault.

@Mohammad Nur Syamsu why do you think acceptance of the ToE has continued to spread?

You people are using your smarts to contort the evidence into any shape you like. Well it could have been this, or the other, it is many factors, it is very complex.

You are throwing out subjectivity and the result is people's emotions are destroyed, simple common sense as is directly shown by the evidence.

Aren't you also contorting the evidence? Absolutely, it could have been any number of things.

I can't speak for these others, but I'm not throwing out subjectivity myself :)

How honest was it for you to claim the evidence points to evolution as being the cause of the depression in your OP?


Not one word backed up your unsubstantiated claim regarding evolution as a cause.


Now please answer why you posted something about depression and evolution, when it was not mentioned in any way, in any context, to what you personally claimed.
