Well I suggest you get me zapped from FR. I don’t know of anything called Darwinism or evolutionism, they sound like religions to me. In point of fact, I am opposed to abortion as I know from science that a unique human being is created at the moment of conception. Those DNA merchants of death came up with that.
The misuse of a science can not discredit science as the misuse is anti-science. Science doesn’t prove, disprove or invent values. I get my values from Christianity and truthfulness is one of them. Value of human life and all life for that matter is another.
The idea that being evolve to a normatively better condition is nonsense from the latter part of the 19th and early part of the twentieth century. If an organism survives, it reproduces. That’s all. What use that is put to by men is up to men and the value of that use can not be proven. Science may be used in a cult of death but it does not produce the cult.
A pound of c4 may be used in building a highway or attached to a terrorist’s belt. The explosion it produces is the same and a scientist built the explosive but did not dictate how it was used. The same analogy works for the theory of evolution. By the same token, the theory is not now identical to the 19th century theory, it has evolved if you will.
The Darwin family produced, developed, and lead the eugenics movement for nearly a century. This is not an opinion, it is a statement of fact.
Divorcing the Darwin family from the evils of eugenics and focusing on science would be like crediting Hitler for the Autobahn and ignoring the Holocaust.
Amen, brother.
