Lincoln, because just think about it. If Lincoln hadn’t been born he couldn’t of stopped America falling apart.And if he didn’t keep America together America couldn’t of done anything for example.Help to win World War 1 & 2 so Hitler would rule the world.Clara Barton couldn’t of made the Red Cross and the American Red Cross has helped all around the world! There is so many things America has done and one last thing…it has made tons and tons of medical,science,and technology break throughs.Just think about it guys Abraham Lincoln is defiantly more important then Darwin.

Being as how evolution per Darwin IS still a theory but is taught as so-called fact, I prefer to go with the FACTS of actual history per Abe Lincoln. And besides, Lincoln moved way beyond the ridiculous notion that the negro race was somehow “not human.” That is where the Emancipation Proclamation came to finally be passed into law so that we as a free democracy could grow past superstitions and become more united as Americans and so all of us can enjoy the same equal rights. Not that Darwin was a bad scientist, which he was not…but in this particular instance, Darwin is left in the dust, as it were.

The case could be made that both men brought about change too quickly. Freeing all American slaves at one time through a terribly violent and costly war, rather than peacefully over a longer time certain had some unintended consequences. And suddenly introducing evolution to the general population the same, including the concept’s misapplication by people such as Marx and Hitler. No way to know for sure of course what would have happened otherwise.

To choose between a political man who changed society to have a sense of respect to his fellow man or a naturalist who connected us to the animal kingdom with a theory that we modify and adapt to our surroundings over time, is simply impossible.

How can we choose with thoughts of who is the better man, when we can choose to celebrate both men as they well deserve? They are equally important

Both were killers. Darwin killed religion and the morality that goes with it. Lincoln killed the republic and nearly a million people.

Defend from Darwinians: When Darwin has complete his theory of evolution, it was not completely logical or reasonable. The term Darwinism is used for those who has followed Darwin’s thought, perspective, or way of thinking on the object, not totally believing evolution theory without fault. Therefore, the contemporary Darwinian establishment is more likely closed to philosophically committed to naturalism as a worldview and modus operandi. Darwinian insist that the natural world is all that can be studied provided all the answers to scientific question in terms of naturalism or materialism. All things must be explained. Darwinian naturalism takes two forms: metaphysical naturalism and methodological naturalism. Metaphysical naturalism stands for the philosophical claim that only material state exist. So, Darwinism denies all supernatural events, spiritual, or immaterial. In that sense, there is logical contradiction. If Darwinism take the way of science and logic, they should not take the presumption of naturalism. It means that Darwinism also cannot explain their theology as well as unproved thought. Therefore, Darwinian neither be right on philosophical position nor proved in scientific way.

As pointed out early on, slavery would have ended without Lincoln and evolution “discovered” without Darwin. Neither is important in himself, but both are symbolic of how events turned out.

So, what’s more important, ending slavery or understanding evolution? I don’t know; ask your local slave.

[...] little more than a year ago we asked: Who Was More Important? Abraham Lincoln or Charles Darwin? It seems like an odd question, but since they were both born on the same day—February 12, [...]

Lincoln, he left his imprint as a man who influenced (and influences) heroism in others. Darwin only left his imprint with his theories, which like all scientific theories develop and become more perfect over time. Heroism, and moral choices (even if he wasn’t perfect) are far more eternal and unchanging.
