Evolutionist Admits Darwins Connection to Racism

Finally, Some Honesty about Darwins Direct Connection to Racism: One AAAS Scientist Admits Evolutions Sordid Past
by Jerry Bergman, PhD
Although often ignored, some science organizations that embrace evolution acknowledge the close causative connection between Darwinism and racism.
""...Despite some inaccuracies and fierce opposition, Darwins blend of novel hypotheses and good rhetoric transformed the scientific world within a few decades. By the late-nineteenth century scientific racism that had made polygenism so popular was soon drawing people to a new cause: eugenics.""
So says John P. Slattery, Ph.D., a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS, the most prestigious science body in the U.S.). In his essay this month in Commonweal, he admits thatdespite its recent improvement in the area of racethe record of Darwinian
""...science has not always aligned so well with modern values of equality and the common good. The history of science includes not only racial hierarchies, but also Western cultural supremacy, [and] the militarization of scientific knowledge.[1]""
Even these “simpler” forms of hearts and brains had to be fully functioning for their organisms to survive. How many steps were needed to “evolve” these simple structures?
If God is unnecessary for nature to climb “Mount Probability”, as Dawkins calls it, how great a leap is it for one to conclude that a god is merely a figment of man’s imagination? A baby step, for sure. Why do you suppose that so few young people have Faith in a Supreme Intelligence? Old Charles has been stuffed down their throats in a non-stop, full court press, that’s why.
There are animals without any brains or hearts at all. Jellyfish, flatworms, etc. Pumping blood and organizing nerve impulses from a central location are nice but clearly not required for life to exist. In ours and most other cases they evolved over time because they were beneficial in some way. As I have said, those who disagree with evolution typically do so because they don’t understand it. How many time have I heard the argument that certain organs must have just popped into existence without having evolved from something simpler? It simply implies a lack of understanding.
You do know that only about 1 in 100 mutations are neutral or beneficial. “Paramecia” could and still cannot not see, hear or pump blood. Yet, you expect me to believe that there existed a step by step process whereby fish, birds, insects, cheetahs and man evolved into being. Sorry, I lack the faith necessary to become a disciple of Darwin.
Still love ya’, FRiend!!!
Fine, but paramecia are not animals, they are unicellular protists, so it’s not a fair comparison. Things like organs and nervous systems only occur in multicellular animals.
Drivel from a pure propaganda source
Obviously, but Darwinists claim that one of these single-celled organisms, which are super complex in themselves, was an ancestor of all life. Rubbish on its face!
