I also notice Ware left out some parts of the Bible that have been used to justify racism and slavery.

Remember, Darwin also said eugenics won’t work basically because it is immoral, and such immorality would weaken a society more than it could hope to gain through eugenics. The leaders of the eugenics movement, and Discovery Institute shills, conveniently ignored this.

I suggest that you read, or re-read the Descent of Man. It is an example of a man making poor use of his own scientific work. Origin of Species was based on a lot of grunt work, which made his conclusions persuasive. But the second book does not rise to the same level, is based more on prejuice than observation, and the language IS racist.

More evidence of Darwin's irrational rationalism doesn't help matters. His naturalistic creation myth cannot explain or account for the emergence of morality itself. If his naturalistic suppositions and speculations actually represented the history of the world there would be no basis for condemnation of racism or eugenics in the first place.

Cordially,
