A disbelief in human evolution was associated with higher levels of prejudice, racist attitudes and support of discriminatory behavior against Blacks, immigrants and the LGBTQ community in the U.S., according to University of Massachusetts Amherst research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Similarly, across the globe—in 19 Eastern European countries, 25 Muslim countries and in Israel—low belief in evolution was linked to higher biases within a person's group, prejudicial attitudes toward people in different groups and less support for conflict resolution.
The findings supported the hypothesis of lead author Stylianos Syropoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in the War and Peace Lab of senior author Bernhard Leidner, associate professor of social psychology. They collaborated with co-first author Uri Lifshin at Reichman University in Israel and co-authors Jeff Greenberg and Dylan Horner at the University of Arizona in Tucson. The researchers theorized that belief in evolution would tend to increase people's identification with all humanity, due to the common ancestry, and would lead to fewer prejudicial attitudes.

I threw up after reading it.
Flush!
So, to be a good person, one must believe in the statistically impossible, unsupported by data in the field, T of E.
“The researchers theorized that belief in evolution would tend to increase people’s identification with all humanity, due to the common ancestry, and would lead to fewer prejudicial attitudes.”
You need to accept evolution theory to believe that humanity shares a common ancestor? That idea seems half-baked to me.
The "experts" tell us so. They all agree.
Good thing he didn’t study Africa.
Only a stoopid person could dislike a fag, he says.
Everything and everyone is racist forever. Got it.
I wonder what leads to modern Democrat racism (as in affirmative action, generational welfare dependency, minimum wage laws, etc)?
The Left’s Core Strategy #1: Scream racism at anything you don’t like or which slows your agenda.
The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Passionately attack Republicans for actions you are undertaking.
The Left’s Core Strategy #3: “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. “
The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Repeat.
So if you believe that black people evolved from apes that makes you more enlightened and less prejudice?
“The findings supported the hypothesis of lead author Stylianos Syropoulos, a Ph.D. candidate in the War and Peace Lab of senior author Bernhard Leidner, associate professor of social psychology.”
Of course they did.
Just as the findings of “climate scientists” support their hypothesis of AGW/HCCC/Global Warming….though their predictions never seem to pan out in the real world.
My comment speaks to the current lack of integrity of what passes for “science” these days (including all things Covid), not evolution.
Even in On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life (there's a reason you're not told the full title), Darwin stated his observation of red ants using black ants as slaves and that the red ant colony would probably cease to exist without their slaves. I'm not saying Darwin didn't have some pro-abolition moments. I'm saying the Moses of evolution was pretty adamant about different races evolving at different levels of intellect and such. And for those who didn't get the point in reading Origin, Darwin made it pretty clear a decade or so later in his Descent of Man.
Don't let the worldly people fool you. It's not Christian teachings that encourage racism. It's the Darwinists. The abolitionist movement was largely a church movement, not an atheist movement. The same with the civil rights movement (the real civil rights movement ending segregation, not the current fake "civil rights" movement wanting to teach kids the imagined glories of anal sex).
I don’t know about you but i didn’t evolve from monkey’s.
Darwin didn’t have a clue to these items when he was on HMS Beagle. Though is theory is just that, a theory that is unproven, was thought since the 50s is now responsible for our current decline. If the left can teach Darwinism and get away with it, they can push anything.
“immigrants” - there’s that word again. I don’t think it means what you think it means.
“19 Eastern European countries, 25 Muslim countries and in Israel”
25 Moslem countries? That skews it big time. Shocked they even bothered to include their beloved evil people in this.
BTW, what do I think of the premise? First off, getting sick of “racism” being the biggest or only evil anyone can be. 2nd, regardless, it doesn’t account for all the “believers” who indulge in evil. Real evil, like actually killing people, etc.
Doesn’t make sense, either. Evolution = survival of the fittest. So, you’re saying that anyone doing anything acting any way doesn’t fly in the face of that? (Homos will NOT contribute to evolution.)
Yes. You must accept the irrational, or you are a RACIST. Nevermind that Darwinism is the underpinning of Communism and Naziism.
Sodomites violate the T of E as much as religious values, since they cannot procreate their next generation. The have to groom their next generation into existence.
What’s the term for a lifeform that needs a host to survive?
Belief in evolution leads to forced belief in CRT which IS… racism.
