Absolutely FALSE.
Stalin did not embrace Darwinism but firmly rejected it in favor of Lysenkoism-Lamarkianism. Teaching evolution through natural selection, or genes and chromosomes, was reason for exile to Siberia or execution in the U.S.S.R..
Such a warm embrace that if you taught it or said you believed it, you would be imprisoned or killed! What absolute ignorance you display! Why should anybody treat you as if you have even a modicum of credibility when you say things that are so OBVIOUSLY incorrect?
I suggest you learn some history, as well as some science. It would serve you well if you want to be taken seriously, or at least it will teach you to misrepresent the truth more artfully; because right now what you said is so obviously untrue you do your side no favors by stating something so easily verifiable as having no basis in fact, but being antithetical to the truth.
You were wrong about Chambers,and you are wrong about Stalin. I’ll not bother posting any factual accounts, for by your reactions you have repeatedly shown your disinterest in such.
You say I’d be better informed if I gained some knowledge of “science.” True science is the art of pursuing the truth of “how and why things work.”
The “science” you refer to and which you are determined to protect is not of that caliber. No, it is the art of gaining and keeping power, status, influence, and wealth at any cost.
This “science” is aptly decribed by Richard Lewontin, who provides ample evidence of why “pride goes before a fall:”
“We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.” (”Billions and Billions of Demons” Richard Lewontin, b. 1929, PhD Zoology, Alexander Agassiz Research Professor at Harvard University)
