Darwin Worship Worse than Ever Imagined
March 3, 2021 | Jerry Bergman
A new book reveals the impact of Charles Darwin in unprecedented detail
by Jerry Bergman, PhD
A new book, Darwin: A Companion catalogues the true extent of Charles Darwin’s enormous impact over the past 160 years.[1] The book claims to be one of the most carefully researched studies of Darwin’s life and work ever published. A review boasts that over
one million sources were consulted in the research for this volume. The book contains over 7,000 entries on Darwin, his family, friends, colleagues, opponents, publications, manuscripts, finances, library and a host of other topics. No book has ever revealed so much new information about Darwin and his unparalleled worldwide impact.[2]

From the rticle:
“Darwin’s View of Women
Darwin’s view of women is also clear: women were at a “lower level of development” than men, due to their “earlier arrest of individual evolution.”
Because women had smaller brains, Darwin believed them to be “eternally primitive,” childlike, less spiritual, more materialistic, and “a real danger to contemporary civilization.”[16]
In 2019 British cognitive researcher Professor Gina Rippon correctly observed the widespread idea of female inferiority existing today “goes all the way back to Darwin, who said that women are inferior because they have inferior brains.”[17]”
That quote sounds like 1slam......
When most politicians change their positions it is called flip-flopping. When Obama changed his position on homosexual marriage it was call evolving.
I’ll consider reading this, but I have to find out about the author.
I don’t think anyone worships Darwin.
Hyperbole renders the whole thing meritless.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
What a conundrum.
Did you read the article?
Interesting how Darwin and Marx triggered the destruction of Western Civilization in the 1860s.
A review boasts that over one million sources were consulted in the research for this volume.

So, after looking for billions of years, they found a stagnant pond and talked to all the amoeba.
Hyperbole renders the whole thing meritless.

Who is this Hyperbole? A new poster? Your blog?
Charles Darwin on Africans
”Since the dawn of history the Negro has owned the continent of Africa – rich beyond the dream of poet’s fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare black feet and yet he never picked one up from the dust until a white man showed to him its glittering light.
His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled.
A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour.
In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud.
With league on league of ocean strand and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thunder of the surf on his beach, the howl of the storm over his head, gazed on the dim blue horizon calling him to worlds that lie beyond, and yet he never dreamed a sail.”
The scientific community respects Darwin's accomplishments and his ideas reflected a line of reasoning that's proven to be exceptionally resilient and productive.
But his findings were eclipsed many, many decades ago by other researchers and have developed into today's evolutionary biology.
Current scientists' interest in him is a historical one but On The Origin Of Species isn't where anyone goes to learn about modern evolutionary science.
It may be hard to believe but his ideas are what have endured and proven useful, not him as a man, and his writings aren't considered to be received wisdom.
Darwin did not originate the theory of evolution. It exists in ancient Hindu texts. These texts were being translated and their content was being discussed in Europe long before Darwin came on the scene.
The great irony is that the theory has its basis in eastern religion.
Aside: our legal system was corrupted by the efforts of numerable men in the 19th century laying the foundations for lawlessness in the 20th.
One of these was C.C.Langdell ... who in many ways got his job at Harvard over the law school because he was a Darwinist.
old article with summary of similar things....

I honestly didn’t know this.
The Descent of Man book apparently assumed the white race was superior and had supplanted all the others like lower animals in the brutal evolutionary process of survival of the fittest. It’s a wonder the book isn’t burned by school districts.
Then to Dayton came a man with his new ideas, so grand,
And he said we came from monkeys long ago,
But in teaching his belief, Mr. Scopes found only grief,
For they would not let their old religion go.
You may find the new belief, it will only bring you grief,
For a house that's built on sand is sure to fall.
And wherever you may turn, there's a lesson you will learn,
The old religion's better, after all.
Vernon Dalhart, 1925
An even greater irony: The first post-flood evolutionary origin account is found in the Enuma Elish as well as in ancient Egypt where the Sun God Ra speaks of coming out of Nu (primordial water/matter). And where does matter and energy originate? The void, aka abyss, chaos, nothingness. Turns out that Darwinism, together with modern evolutionary biology has its roots in the very ancient pagan superstition and myth.
“the theory of evolution”
Didn’t Darwin begin to prove that theory - particularly during his time on the Galapágos Islands - with the finches etc.?
Was that kind of evidence ever presented in ancient texts?
If the book does catalogue the true extent how Darwinism exacerbated racism, in general, does not catalogue the true extent how Darwinism influenced Eugenics, and does not catalogue the true extent how it influenced pre-WWII Hitler, Germany, Aryanism, etc., etc., etc., the book is nothing more institutionalized propaganda and utter rubbish.
