But in the case of Darwin, as with Marx, there is a specific logic to their ideas which lends itself to the sort of misuse (if it is misuse...) that later occurred.
In what way can a description of events in biological systems be "misused"?

Fact is, nazi racism had roots that went down into multiple soils. But all those soils had this is common: They were found in hearts that disbelieved the clear words and teaching of the Bible. Nonsense, the Bible was used to justify racism and anti-Semitism for centuries.
Look up the Hamitic Myth and how the Baptist Church only got around to apologizing for supporting slavery in 1995 for examples. Or try Luther's lovely rants.

"post 11 appears to advocate killing those who disagree"...
one can be removed from the GENE pool without being killed. Child molesters and rapist could be "surgically improved" without killing them.

Notice, in my post I did not take any issue whatsover with you and others calling the original statment. I just indicated that the poster had, in my estimation, retracted in post 53 and post 76 and that the retraction was good enough for me. The rest was simply free advise.

If Darwin had not existed, Wallace would have published, and MAYBE have achieved the same prominence, with much the same theory. But Darwin did exist and he was made a symbol of a rising scientism and a class of lay scientists who replaced the clerical amateurs like thge Bishop of Oxford in the chairs of the scientific socities. The scientist Darwin--his work has been superceded, But the symbol "Darwin" remains as the counterpart of the "Bible." and more as a ratification of German philosophy than of biology. As for Darwin the man, he was perfect for the role, since he was quite unphilosophical and conventional, and was content to let more articulate men like Huxley "puff his reputation.

It was based on philosophical beliefs. "Philosphical beliefs" almost entirely grounded in a Christian worldview, understanding of history and science, and the nature of man.
To: RustMartialis
If there are ignorant prejudices posted in FR, they come from liberals and psuedo-conservatives who attempt to smuggle in leftist ideology as historical interpretation. The particular point is the theory that Adolf Hitler and National Socialism derive from traditional Christianity and mainstream Western culture.
In 1960, liberals and "me-too" Republicans (the RINOs of that day) would sneer at the likes of Barry Goldwater or William Buckley by saying that George Lincoln Rockwell (head of the American Nazi Party) or Robert Shelton (head of a large Ku Klux Klan faction) were just like Goldwater or Buckley, just more enthusiastic. In our time, their heirs attempt to establish the same connection between David Duke and Ann Coulter or Tom Tancredo. Liberals and RINOs have a vested interest in linking American conservatism with fascist and white supremacist beliefs in order to discredit their opponents.
In fact, American conservatism derives from the political and philosophical principles of the founders of this republic, which derived from a combination of Christian (especially Calvinist) beliefs and Enlightenment philosophy. American conservatism is in essence classical liberalism. Modern liberals are essentially secular humanists and moderate socialists who operate under false pretenses.
The facts are that the National Socialist ideology and the personal beliefs of Hitler derived from a mixture of neo-paganism, eugenics (a corrupted form of Darwinism), a version of Nietzschean philosophy, and socialism smuggled in from Marxist and utopian socialist sources. Quoting some liberal Anglican archbishop hardly proves a connection between the Holocaust and orthodox Christianity.
As for Dr. Kennedy, he is a teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a conservative, Bible-believing denomination that is opposed to homosexual marriages, abortion, euthanasia, and other perversions. The PCA stands in sharp contrast with the Presbyterian Church, USA, which has apostatized from orthodox Christianity and Biblical teachings at the denominational level.

.......is this a joke?????...... It would be amusing if these people weren't so hell-bent on destroying and discrediting the Conservative Movement. Its now gone way beyond that.
Once it was merely pathetic. Presently its gone towards downright dangerous.

Sure, sure.
I gave up a long time ago on instilling a sense of moderation in the righteous. For me, it's enough that others see what's going on. I'll leave that to the record as it stands, so you can have the last word, if you like.

Nonsense, the Bible was used to justify racism and anti-Semitism for centuries. While that may be correct, your underlying premise is false. Why? Because, while they may have tried to do so, that isn't what the Bible teaches.
The equality of all men and women, slave or free, before God, is a New Testament principle.
And the fact that God loves Israel and isn't done with her is quite transparent as well.
Lies are lies, and they have real world consequences, whether they are propagated by Charles Darwin or Martin Luther.
To: ahayes
Where would the funding come from, church offerings or taxes levied by your idealized church-run state? That's a matter for the accountants to work out.
I would prefer a levy on all slaves owned by the Hierarchy. But, they grumble under the weight of the taxation as it is.
We'll work on the details later. I have to get myself elected Spectre, first. One thing at a time.

HUMAN SCIENTISTS FROM ANOTHER PLANET CREATED ALL LIFE ON EARTH USING DNA.
Traces of this epic masterpiece of creation can be found in all religious writings and traditions. It is to them that Moses, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed referred. It is now time to welcome them.
WHAT HAPPENED?
On the 13th of December 1973, French journalist Rael was contacted by a visitor from another planet, and asked to establish an Embassy to welcome these people back to Earth.
The extra-terrestrial human being was a little over four feet tall, had long dark hair, almond shaped eyes, olive skin, and exuded harmony and humor. Rael recently described him by saying quite simply, "If he were to walk down a street in Japan, he would not even be noticed." In other words, they look like us, and we look like them. In fact, we were created "in their image" as explained in the Bible.
He told Rael that:
"We were the ones who designed all life on earth" "You mistook us for gods" "We were at the origin of your main religions" "Now that you are mature enough to understand this,we would like to enter official contact through an embassy"
THE MESSAGES
The messages dictated to Rael explain that life on Earth is not the result of random evolution, nor the work of a supernatural 'God'. It is a deliberate creation, using DNA, by a scientifically advanced people who made human beings literally "in their image" -- what one can call "scientific creationism." References to these scientists and their work, as well as to their symbol of infinity, can be found in the ancient texts of many cultures. For example, in Genesis, the Biblical account of Creation, the word "Elohim" has been mistranslated as the singular word "God", but it is actually a plural word which means "those who came from the sky", and the singular is "Eloha" (also known as "Allah"). Indigenous cultures all over the world remember these "gods" who came from the sky, including natives of Africa (Dogon, Twa, etc.), America, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
Leaving our humanity to progress by itself, the Elohim nevertheless maintained contact with us via prophets including Buddha, Moses, Mohammed, etc., all specially chosen and educated by them. The role of the prophets was to progressively educate humanity through the Messages they taught, each adapted to the culture and level of understanding at the time. They were also to leave traces of the Elohim so that we would be able to recognize them as our Creators and fellow human beings when we had advanced enough scientifically to understand them. Jesus, whose father was an Eloha, was given the task of spreading these messages throughout the world in preparation for this crucial time in which we are now privileged to live: the predicted Age Of Revelation.
And most important of all, read the book, "Intelligent Design - Message from the Designers" the book which will revolutionize your thinking, transform your life and which is already changing the world.

All I'm saying is that if he's trying to refute Kennedy's arguments, leading off by calling Coral Ridge Ministries "America's Taliban" is a really lousy way to do it. He goes to the
ad hominem argument so fast, he looks like he's got nothing but slurs and attacks instead of a reasoned refutation.
From what (little) I know about Hitler, anyway, he got his racial theories from people that were contemporaries of, or even slightly before, Darwin. H.S. Chamberlain and the Frenchman Gobineau, for two examples. He took their theories of the superiority of the Aryan and the inferiority of the Semite and added the violent German nationalism he felt as an Austrian youth, then mixed it all together while he was a bum in Vienna before World War I. I don't know whether Darwin had any direct impact on Hitler or not, or whether Hitler himself even read Darwin. There were enough racialists out there that Hitler could've quite easily picked up his theory on eugenics without even hearing of Charles Darwin.
I want facts taught as facts, theory taught as theory. Give kids the facts and the various theories behind them, and let them reason things out. So in that respect I guess the hardcore evolutionists around here think I'm some sort of weird Amish Luddite or something. But, to draw a direct line between Darwin and Hitler? That's too much of a stretch. Racial superiority theories and especially anti-Semitism far pre-dated Darwin.

...gutter cultists...
I'm not defending the Coral Ridge remarks but I have two questions:
(1) What's the difference in a "gutter" cultist and a "regular" cultist?
(2) Which category would Tom Cruise fit into?
