Another Creationists misquoting Darwin by leaving out the context? This seems to be their normal MO.

[ALS]

How scathingly beautiful!

Thanks and GREAT WORK!

The context is darwood was a racist and a sexist and inspired the likes of Marx, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Margaret Sanger and other noted knuckledragging murderers of the world.


behold thy grail

it must be as fun to defend darwood as the libs had defending slick

Since we are supposed to feel guilty that Darwin was only human and not morally above his fellow man of the time

Seems to me that at the same time that Darwin was spewing his racist rants in the US more than half a million WHITE MEN were dying to free blacks from oppression. So much for your Clintonian 'everybody does it' excuse for immorality and incitement to mass murder. Oh yes, as I remember, another half million Americans died in WWII to stop the mass murders incited by your buddy Darwin.

OMG, he actually posted something without the hack job!!

No cut and paste mishmash, no twisting of facts and reason, no tossing all logic and scientific inquiry out the window.

Everyone, PLEASE, PLEASE, join me in a round of applause for G3K's actual quoting of someone, without tearing it to pieces, without twisting the meaning, etc, etc.

The Rainbow man has an actual post that we can ALL be proud of!!

Hurray for you G3K, but will you keep it up when we get back into actual science? Or will you slip into your old ways again?

Make sure that we all paste this into our notebooks to keep for all posterity to see.

Hurray G3K, GOOD JOB!!!

Thank you so much for your posts!

Speaking of Biblical Greek, there is a mailing list for scholars of ancient Greek. I input John 1:1 and got a lot of different interpretations. And these guys are for the most part classical scholars.

If you received anything on John 1:3 and 10 in particular, would you mind posting it?

Studying up a bit on the history of the Baptists in America. According to this website, early American Baptists believed in the separation of church and state and opposed the idea that America was a Christian commonwealth…. My, my. Whatever became of the Baptists?

I strongly suspect that "separation of church and state" to the Founding Fathers did not mean what it means today, where it has become a political football for the extreme left-wing. Moral relativism is a malignancy that is affecting everything from the schoolroom to the courtroom.

Certainly, no Baptist that I know would ever want the state to establish a state religion, but Metaphysical Naturalism (atheism) is both an ideology and a religion and its stranglehold needs to be ended.

My two cents…

[Aric2000]

The fact that he wasn't an American seems to have Completely slipped your mind now didn't it?

I knew that it wouldn't last. Oh well!!!

OK everyone, regarding my last post, hope springs eternal, but, the hopes have been dashed.

Back to virtual ignore for you there Rainbow man, man, I had such high hopes too.

You just aim to disapoint don't you?

Thanks for the heads up!

Stulty sez:
"Indeed his ability to identify, and then carefully think through, the possible objections to his theory can only be described as amazing."

So Darwood thought through how his wicked dogma would lead to mass abortion and mass slaughter?

ahhhhh we SEE!

Indeed it is amazing that anyone in today's world would still adhere to and embrace such evil wrought on maknkind.
And they do it in such a pious way, as if he was god!

HE'S A DEAD WHITE EUROPEAN MALE, and YES you ARE supposed to feel guilty! ALS's friends at the Progressive Sociology Network can help if you're having trouble feeling the guilt.

[Aric2000]

LOL, I bet they can... But problem is that my guilty concience just ain't gonna get to that point.

My great, great grandfather owned their great great grandfathers, let them work it out between themselves.

LOL there was no such thing as evolution back then. How could he not be a "creationist?"

[ALS]

Hitler and gang were "only human" too, eh?

Sanger was born Margaret Higgins in Corning, N.Y., on Sept. 14, 1883. She took her nurse's training at the White Plains Hospital and the Manhattan Eye and Ear Clinic. She married William Sanger in 1900. Her lurid sexual past experimentation and preoccupation with lesbianism and pansexuality outpaced that of her husband and they were divorced shortly. She kept the last name by which she had become well known, even after she remarried in 1922 to a man whose political views were similar to hers and those of a young Corporal she had met in late 1917, Adolf Hitler.

Sanger said that she believed in a woman's right to plan the size of her family, but in actuality used the excuse to attempt the institutionalization of the ideals of Darwin (eugenisis and the eradication of disfavourable races), Mme. Helena Blavatsky (the ideals of Eastern Mysticism and establishment of Aryanism), and her melding of minds with Hitler.

At least everyone gets to see how you clowns think

He could've been atheist, genius.

[Stultis]

coincidence?

???

Darwin studied, and wrote on, hybridization extensively, and never said anything like the Hitler quote (that a hybrid is necessarily inferior to the "superior" parent). In fact Darwin noted that hybrids are sometimes more vigorous than either parent ("hybrid strength").

[Aric2000]

Can you believe this guy?

He can do it, but if you dare do it, He will attack you and make fun of you for it.

Man, he is fitting that hypocrite moniker better and better, the more he posts the more obvious it becomes.

Yep, it will show EVERYONE how he thinks, and that ain't a good thing.

[ALS]

lose gracefully son

you cry like a floridiot on election day the way you whine on

[Skywalk]

Irrelevant. One need not be an atheist to acknowledge evolution.

Hence, as a believer, there was little option for him at that time. Evolution was not a factor.

Nice site.
