The point that all darwinists miss is that according to this theory there is a constant struggle for survival, however this is manifested it is still a struggle.
The problem is that under this model mankind could not survuve unless there was more cooperation that competition. Since we have survived based on cooperation, it means that there is not now nor could there ever have been a "constant struggle for survival".
Evolution is so patently false that any 8 year old can see it.

Neshama, to pick one example at random, go and google "the social contract".
Quantum physics is so patently false that any eight year old can see it.
You say: survival is the motive behind cooperation.And: this is obviously incompatible with evolution which, in contrast, would picture survival as the motive.
I think any 8 year old can see how stupid this is.
wrong...
OK, so the fact we had to band together to survive, which is why we evolved the way we did, is proof that we didn't have to band togther to survive?
A more generous reading would stress the "struggle" part. This way, he might be arguing that (1) with cooperation, there is no struggle of man-vs-man or man-vs-nature (2) given there is no struggle, there is either no selective mechanism or selective pressure (I'm not really sure which he's arguing) to choose between men (3) with no selective mechanism, there is no evolution.
Actually, he makes a good argument for the development of speech, bipedalism and social interaction amongst humans. Apart from the fact that he is a Hannity-fuckwad, he's not far off the mark.
I'm really tired of hearing these fundie retards saying evolution couldn't work that way, or that our origins cannot be explained by it, and yet being unable to produce a logical alternative for the way the world, and life upon it, came to be other than "Goddidit".
THE SONG: (returns!)
“The point that all darwinists”
“miss is that according to this theory there is a constant struggle for survival, however this is manifested it is still a struggle.”
“The problem is that under this model mankind could not survuve unless there was more cooperation that competition.”
"Since we have survived based on cooperation, it means that there is not now nor could there ever have been a "constant struggle for survival".”
“Evolution is so patently false that any 8 year old can see it.”
Humans with their advanced brain make a huge difference. It's not "Evolutionists" or "Darwinists", it's science. Biology includes the understanding of punctuated equilibrium where at some times and places some species may evolve more rapidly and others appear to stall. The human can invent what is needed to survive in environments that would have naturally selected him out. Most species that existed are extinct.
Your denial of the overwhemling evidence shows ignorance, but is also probably evidence of deception to manipulate.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
