Spin from the BBC about Darwin (devoted to absolving Darwinism from revolutionary evolutionism)
CMI ^ | October 22, 2009 | Russell Grigg

Posted on 10/22/2009 8:31:09 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

The British Broadcasting Corporation in England has deemed it necessary to try and absolve Darwinism from any responsibility for the Holocaust and the many other atrocities committed in the name of evolutionary progress ever since Darwin published his Origin of Species in 1859. To achieve this, BBC2 produced a TV “documentary” entitled Darwin’s Dangerous Idea,[1] written and presented by their journalist and political commentator Andrew Marr. This 3-part series...

Why are you so quick to ping the mods to stifle discussion? That’s an awfully leftist/Axelrod/Emanuel/Obama thing to do.

so evolution by natural selection is a scientific theory trying to address physical findings, yes? (even if you disagree with the findings)

people/movements making subjective (and I propose ultimately control-oriented political & social manipulations of force)pronouncements and actions regarding the ‘worth’ of certain ‘types’ of people.

I think it’s clear the distinction between ‘darwinism’ and ‘social darwinism.’
I think the big 3 desert religions already have their hands full of people going straight to the source documents trying to justify horrible acts regarding the ‘worth’ of certain ‘types’ of people.
I don’t think religions would appreciate the attempt of tenuous slant-style associations of Satanists, those hearing voices, or others that couldn’t have acted on their ideas if the god idea didn’t precede it.

Isn’t there enough to disagree about concerning the core ideas of evolution by natural selection and bible based beliefs? Without introducing tenuous slant-style attempts at association?

“Why you must be a false prophet.”

Why don’t you be more specific?

That means alot coming from someone who pretends to be Christian while denouncing genuine Christians in the name of Christianity. I have asked you numerous times if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, and you have refused to answer each time. All Christians confess Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Not only that, one day you pretend to be a Protestant, the next day you pretend to be a Catholic, all for the purpose of turning protestants and catholics against each other...not for any doctrinal reason, but soley for the purpose of stirring up animosity, division, and hatred. You are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. There is no debating you, there is only exposing you as per Matthew 7:15-20. Let me know if you ever become an actual Christian (or are at least willing to be honest and admit that you are an evo-atheist disruptor posing as a Christian). Until then, buzz-off imposter.

What don't you understand, specifically?

Except those Islamic Creationists sources you love to cite do NOT denounce terrorism carried out in the name of Islam, such as the 9-11 attacks - they, like most of the Islamic world, seek to blame somebody else. For most Islamists it is ‘the Jews’, for you and your Islamic friends - it is “darwinism”.

Two ludicrous and delusional sides of the same ‘it isn't the fault of Islam’ coin.

Your post. That’s why I asked for greater specificity. If you can’t do that, I’ll just assume that your comment was merely a drive-by spitball shot devoid of any real historical perspective.

Reality is entirely subjective to religious and political solipsists, for ex., allowing Aquinas to cross his legs, levitate and float about the cathedral of Notre Dame.

“But the world itself is only a speck of dust. And man is tiny and helpless! How long has he been in existence? For millions of years the earth was uninhabited.”

“Nonsense. The earth is as old as we are, no older. How could it be older? Nothing exists except through human consciousness.” (O’Brien)

“But the rocks are full of the bones of extinct animals - mammoths and mastodons and enormous reptiles which lived here long before man was ever heard of.”

“Have you ever seen those bones, Winston? Of course not. Nineteenth-century biologists invented them. Before man there was nothing. After man, if he could come to an end, there would be nothing. Outside man there is nothing.”

“But the whole universe is outside us. Look at the stars! Some of them are a million light-years away. They are out of our reach for ever.”

“What are the stars? “ said O’Brien indifferently.” They are bits of fire a few kilometres away. We could reach them if we wanted to. Or we could blot them out. The earth is the centre of the universe. The sun and the stars go round it.”

1984 Orwell, chapter 21

You have no response but to repeat your retreat. Your dishonesty and fraud in posting as well as with regard to your professed Christianity is on plain display for all readers to peruse.

As do I.

"If you Since I can’t do that, I’ll you can just assume that your my comment was merely a drive-by spitball shot devoid of any real historical perspective.

There, fixed it for you.

Ah, yes. Darwin died, when, in 1882? Yet he bears responsibility for the Holocaust. All for a basic scientific theory.

Would you then also absolve Karl Marx of all responsibility for the impact of his political science work on the 20th century? Granted, Darwin did not foresee all that would occur. But he also wrote of how the 'inferior' human races were going to be exterminated by the 'superior' races in the near future of mankind.

While he viewed this as something that would naturally happen (not something that he particularly hoped for or agitated for), voicing such an opinion and describing it in positive terms (as evolutionary progress) does mean bearing some responsibility for subsequent efforts to carry it out.

As a wolf in sheep’s clothing, you will do everything in your power to change the subject of this thread to keep your fellow revolutionary evolutionists from being put under the microscope.

Clearly, you are a summa cum laude graduate of the GGG School of Mindless Posts. I bet you did best in the “I Know You Are But What Am I” posting class.

Both semesters!

As evolution is science, it is under the microscope all the time! Are you really that ignorant?

Yes or no, please.

Last I checked, the Soviets did not hang Darwin posters on the wall. Darwin was not a core element of their political belief system. He wasn't central for the Nazis, either. Genocide happened long before Darwin came around.

Incredible, just incredible.

When you have your next original thought, ping me. I have a 15 minute time slot next March, so start thinking.

No pressure!
