Darwinism has remade Western society—for the worse
Review of The Darwin Effect: Its Influence on Nazism, Eugenics, Racism, Communism, Capitalism, and Sexism
by John Woodmorappe
This work covers the effects of the Darwinian revolution on 19th and 20th century thinking. It is striking how pervasive and harmful this effect has been. Because this work is so rich in diverse topics, I focus on only some of them and concentrate on developments in the latter part of the 20th century.
Darwin was not simply a product of his time and culture. To the contrary, he effectively steered his culture. His ideas were aggressively promoted and they transformed societies. Moreover, the interactions of Darwinism with so many different strands of human thought were, and are, much too pervasive to be dismissed as ‘misunderstandings’ or ‘misinterpretations’ of Darwinism.
Bergman also makes it obvious that so-called scientific Darwinism and Social Darwinism cannot be dichotomized. The latter flows seamlessly and effortlessly from the former. In fact, ‘Social Darwinism’ was freely practised, not just by extremists but by mainstream biologists. Nor was it some kind of passing 19th century fad. Bergman comments: “The racist views of early Darwinists were widely supported, not just by a few renegade scientists, but by most of the leading biologists until at least the 1950’s” (p. 61).

“Darwin gave racists a pseudoscientific rationalization.”
Society has never demanded, sought after, or bothered with any kind of rationalization for anything having to do with race. It is the default position of every society. It use to be called tribalism. It is such a default that the Leftists use the red flag of racism 24/7 to quell and mislead any opposition to their agenda.

Darwinism seems to be based on observed facts.
Considering the times, a very timely thread indeed. Christ said you’d know a tree by the fruit it bears. The “tree” of Darwinism has yielded evil fruit: Nazism, Communism, and the present day godless nihilism we are seeing everyday before out eyes.
To our modern Darwinian-Socialist-Nihilst world, amidst warnings of impending judgment, the book of Revelation presents its case for creationism straight and to the point:
“Worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.” Rev. 14:7b
. . . and more than one unobserved “fact,” as well.
Do you know of any evolutionary fossil evidence leading to the evolution of modern man?
The theory of natural selection applied to people strongly suggests the rightness of conservative policies: Market economies, traditional values, strong defense and strong borders. Liberalism looks idiotic in a Darwinian analysis.
Conservatives who signal against Darwin are nuts.
Yeah, just the facts, ma'am.

Well said.
You seem quite confused.
Can you tell us what ‘observed facts’ which you refer?

We are DEVO.
I've just come from looking at the web page of the neo-Confederate "League of the South." Now being the scion of old Southern Unionist Republicans and one who prefers Hamilton to Jefferson, I have never agreed with the neo-Confederate ideology. But now they have gone stone-cold insane. They treat chrstianity as a mere aspect of Northern and Western European ethnoculture rather than something that claims to be absolutely and universally true, and they even seem to be mimicking the Armenians in considering themselves a "chrstian race" that has been redeemed as an ethnic group. They even invoke "blood and soil" (a doctrine that was invented only in the late nineteenth century and never existed in the Medieval Europe they idolize). Their "nationalism" is now purely racial, rejecting the Black and Jewish Confederates which other Confederate apologists invoke. In fact, the ideology of the so-called "neo-Confederates" is now so radical that it can't be called "neo-Confederate" at all, since even with all its racialism this particular ideology simply did not exist in the Confederacy.
Prepare to be not only dismissed as a "Protestant" but now as a "cuck" as well.
PS: Not many people are aware that "palaeocon" hero Robert Henry Winborne Welch Jr., the founder of the John Birch Society, was a Unitarian and an evolutionist. Herbert Spencer was one of his heroes.
The neo-Confederates need to have a block party with the Black Hebrew Israelites.

I notice that Darwin’s skull-measurers are out in force on this thread.
The scientific method does not apply to ancient, unobservable, and unrepeatable phenomena. In fact, cosmogony is not even a legitimate field of science. It is strictly the purview of Divine Revelation and theology.
Those who try to discredit science by referring to it as a religion are saying more about their opinion of religion and the faithful than they are about the scientific method. Or, more simply, by saying that science is bogus because it is a religion, these “creationists” imply that all religion is bogus. Does that *really* promote the Christian faith?
What a list of stereotypes.
First of all, creationism has nothing to do with chrstianity. Genesis pre-existed chrstianity for a thousand years as a written text, and pre-existed the universe by 974 generations as part of the Torah, through which G-d created the world. This notion that the Hebrew Bible is "chrstian" (G-d forbid!) is the worst form of "cultural appropriation," though don't expect any leftists--especially Jewish ones--to say this, since this would undercut their childish hatred of it.
Second of all, chrstianity is false. At most it alleged truth can only be assumed from the get-go and can never be known with certainty.
Third of all, "faith" has nothing to do with it. The ultimate Revelation is the Revelation at Sinai, which does not rest on religious faith at all but absolute certitude. Being a cultural chrstian (whether positive or negative), you've never heard this of course. Any 'Aish HaTorah Discovery Seminar will explain quite well how the Revelation of Sinai is known fact unlike every other claim of Divine Revelation in history. Or you could read this article.
Fourth of all, "religion" is a fraud. The whole idea of "religion" as merely one tiny little aspect of life in among many others is absolutely antithetical to the true idea of the Sovereignty of G-d. G-d is neither opinion nor ethno-cultural folklore. G-d is absolute reality. Check you so-called chrstian "old testament" and you will see that in ancient Israel G-d ran and governed absolutely everything, not just the things we have come to think of as matters of "religion." The entire ancient world did this. The whole concept of G-d as something separate from the "real world" called "religion" is what ultimately put us in this mess.
Have I said enough?
Evidently you aren't quite as much of an "ex" Dem as you think you are.
Considering that you missed the whole point of the article by regurgitating the sick worldview it attacks, you've provided a very good example
What do you use to measure skulls? Calipers?
What a joy your life must be . . . getting up every morning for no reason whatsoever because you just happen to exist.
Sure it is. The true goal of evolution is a utopia of "social justice." [/sarcasm]
What are you doing on a conservative site?
