DARWINISM AND THE RULE OF TREATING OTHERS AS YOU WANT TO BE TREATED

Jesus gained popularity by teaching you must treat others as you like to be treated.  He said this summed up the Law and the Prophets.  This would mean that God is included in the others. 

Darwinism says life is about getting ahead of other creatures.  It is about competition.

Fundamentalist Christians hope that Darwinism isn't true. Even if Darwinism is not true we still live by its rule, survival of the fittest. Do you like it when somebody works harder for an exam than you? Do you like it when they get higher grades than you? Even if you are happy for them there will be a part of you that wishes that you were the one that came out on top. You just can't keep the Golden Rule. People like to say that the golden rule preaches adaptability. Darwin is said to have written, "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change." He didn't write it. But by survival of the fittest he did indeed mean the most adaptable but to be adaptable you have to be smart in the right way and also strong. So being strong and intelligent are made more important not less.
