Good gosh...first of all let this thread die...it has no place here on FreeRep. Second, if you are going to debate, at least have the common courtesy of reading some of Darwins work, and the subsequent work of at least 10 others before you summarily dismiss the man.

I see this is your first encounter with Gore3000.

You see, he doesn't need to actually *learn* any of the fields he tries to rebut -- he feels no need to, not even when he's making up stuff that he falsely claims scientists have written.

For just one example, we're *still* trying to get him to provide any Darwin quote which supports Gore3000's allegations of the existence of a "Darwin's racist claim that the brachyocephalic index showed what races were superior and which were inferior."

After much insistence that he support or retract this slur, the best (*cough*) he could come up with was to claim "That Darwin said it can be easily found by doing a search on the Origins." Well no, actually, it can't. Nor can Gore3000 manage to provide the alleged passage, despite the fact that he said it could be "easily found".

That's just one of many the Gore3000 FABNAQ's (Frequently Asked But Never Answered Questions) which Freeper Dan Day has compiled.

In short, he's making it up as he goes along and hoping nobody calls him on it.

"Darwin's racist claim"

As I recall, there is a theory put forth in "The Descent of Man" about differences in evolutionary level for the various races of man.

For just one example, we're *still* trying to get him to provide any Darwin quote which supports Gore3000's allegations of the existence of a "Darwin's racist claim that the brachyocephalic index showed what races were superior and which were inferior."

Here it is:

In man the frontal bone consists of a single piece, but in the embryo, and in children, and in almost all the lower mammals, it consists of two pieces separated by a distinct suture. ~~This suture occasionally persists more or less distinctly in man after maturity; and more frequently in ancient than in recent crania, especially, as Canestrini has observed, in those exhumed from the Drift, and belonging to the brachycephalic type. Here again he comes to the same nclusion as in the analogous case of the malar bones. In this, and other instances presently to be given, the cause of ancient races approaching the lower animals in certain characters more frequently than do the modern races, appears to be, that the latter stand at a somewhat greater distance in the long line of descent from their early semi-human progenitors. Darwin, Descent of Man, Chapter II.

All you and your friends know how to do is engage in ad-hominem attacks against those who disagree with you. Again - I do not see you or the rest of the evo clowns refuting anything I have said. I do not see you or the rest of the evo clowns giving evidence for your side. All you guys know how to do is insult. Shame on you.
