"Still waiting on a response."

I don't know what you want me to say. It is a fact that some related to Charles Darwin were Eugenics advocates, eugenics did not originate within the Darwin family or even the 19th century. The concept has been around since before the dawn of recorded history and has been embraced within every society with an oligarchy, whether political, theological, or economic.

It is a fact that some related to Charles Darwin were Eugenics advocates, eugenics did not originate within the Darwin family or even the 19th century.

Let's look at a few FACTS:

1. Charles Darwin's cousin Francis Galton came up with the term "eugenics" and he was the founder of the "Eugenics Society" (it underwent several name changes).
2. The Eugenics Society was later run by Charles Darwin's son Leonard Darwin.
3. Charles Darwin's grandson Charles Galton Darwin was also a prominent eugenicist and he wrote a book called "The Next Million Years" which dealt with "Maltusian catastrophe".
4. Charles Darwin's granddaughter Margaret Elizabeth Darwin was married to the brother of John Maynard Keynes (another prominent eugenicist).

So, you can say what you want about eugenics but the FACTS are that the Darwin family has played an integral role in its development and promotion. And it is a FACT that their role coincided with an era when the entire world was able to watch the catostrophic results of eugenics unfold.

Now, perhaps you should go back and look at my posts. I very rarely if ever post about Charles Darwin or evolution. However, I do post quite often about the dangers of Darwinism and the FACT is that the Darwin family CANNOT be separated from eugenics no matter how much the evolutionists would like them to be.

As far as my "theological opposition" to anything, what are you even referring to?
