Before you play "the race card", be sure you know what you're talking about.

I think he knows what he is talking about. And I think you are a fool if you believe Darwin wasn't a racist.

Check this out:

That said NOTHING about Darwin, it is a website basically saying that the theory of evolution was used as an an excuse for Immoral acts in the early parts of this century, using the socalled social darwinism theory.

Keep you sentences and facts straight please.

The fact of the matter is, that Christianity was used for this purpose as well, ever heard of the first crusades? NOT the ones against the Muslims, but those against the heretics?

Ever heard the statement "kill them all, god will sort them out?" or god will recognize his own?

If you haven't, then you need to study up a bit on your religious history. ALL things can be twisted and used for immoral uses. Don't throw rocks when you live in a glass house there Michael.

2) Some say, okay, I didn't realise Darwin was the first Social Darwinist, but you still can't blame him for the Holocaust, and as a person he was not such a bad guy. True, but as I stated, Malthus's observation on population was fairly recent history when Darwin was writing, and unless you are going to claim Darwin was a deeply stupid man, ( an opinion I certainly don't hold ), he must have known the use his theory would be put to. Darwin's personal qualities also seem irrelevant to me, Hitler was nice to his dog and mistress, so what? And also, it strikes me that absolving Darwin for the crimes of other Social Darwinists, is like Dr Frankenstein saying, ' That monster I created, the killing spree it has gone on, well, it is nothing to do with me.'

Or this little snipit out of the website, he doesn't state that Darwin was a racist directly, he just says that his theory was put to use that way. Also notice that he BLAMES Darwin for all this misery, like he is PERSONALLY responsible.

So basically, we must blame Einstein for the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, because his theories are what made the atomic bomb possible, so it his fault and he is responsible PERSONALLY.

Or let's take that another step, the wright brothers developed aircraft and made it possible to actually fly, so they MUST be held PERSONALLY responsible for the WTC, and of course all the deaths in all the airplane crashes there ever were.

So, in order for someone NOT to be PERSONALLY responsible for the misuse of their theories, then they better keep their mouths shut about them and NOT even think about releasing their theories or else.

Does this make sense Michael? Does it really and truly make ANY kind of logical sense? If you say yes, then you are a liar.
