None of this in any way relates to your statement in 377 that Darwin wrote that blacks were very closely related to their ape ancestors, but there was a group that was even closer- the Irish. Can I take this as an admission you lied?

Bingo!

Standard creationist tactic - make bold, specific yet false statements, then back them up with feelings and assumptions.

False witness, of a particularly passive/agressive strain.

From the Descent of Man-- I quote--

"The careless, squalid, unaspiring Irishman
multiplies like rabbits: the frugal, foreseeing, self-respecting,
ambitious Scot, stern in his morality, spiritual in his faith,
sagacious and disciplined in his intelligence, passes his best years
in struggle and in celibacy, marries late, and leaves few behind
him. Given a land originally peopled by a thousand Saxons and a
thousand Celts- and in a dozen generations five-sixths of the
population would be Celts, but five-sixths of the property, of the
power, of the intellect, would belong to the one-sixth of Saxons
that remained. In the eternal 'struggle for existence,' it would be
the inferior and less favoured race that had prevailed- and
prevailed by virtue not of its good qualities but of its faults."


(You have to give an old man time to look things up- friend. I read quite a bit, and have a million quotes in my head) ha Takes time to footnote
