Your complaints about "out-of-context" quotes doesn't nullify the fact that Darwin believed that some races were superior to others. Hitler, et.al., agreed with him.

In his "Descent of Man" - subtitled, The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life", he wrote of how the "lower races" will have been "eliminated" by the higher "civilized" races throughout the world.

Darwin's biggest promoter, Thomas Huxley, was a major-league racist as were people like H. F. Osborn - (very prominent American anthropologist) - who said: "The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the 11-year-old youth of _____the species_____ Homo sapiens."

And on and on, ad infinitum.

These are the same people that have the faith to believe that something can come from nothing.

Your scholarship is based upon an absolute disregard for your sources. There is no good excuse for this. Then again, your attempted excuse wouldn't be good for anything anyway.

Aren't they? Or do you ignore reality everywhere you see it?

Hitler, et.al., agreed with him.

So what, so did the Pope.

In his "Descent of Man" - subtitled, The Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life", he wrote of how the "lower races" will have been "eliminated" by the higher "civilized" races throughout the world.

So? Have you over looked how many species have rendered extinct by man in the last 100 years?

Darwin's biggest promoter, Thomas Huxley, was a major-league racist as were people like H. F. Osborn - (very prominent American anthropologist) - who said: "The standard of intelligence of the average adult Negro is similar to that of the 11-year-old youth of _____the species_____ Homo sapiens."

So what? Stupid and ignorant people tend to predominate the earth - look in a mirror for a confirmation.

And on and on, ad infinitum.

You mean that stupid people like you are incapable of learning the obvious?

These are the same people that have the faith to believe that something can come from nothing.

let me get out my tine violin. Doobie-doobie-doo, you're an idiot, doobie-doo...

You need to start cribbing from somebody who can read if not write.
